Background
- The mouth (buccal cavity)
is the reservoir for the
chewing and mixing of
food with saliva.
- It is the primary site of
digestion and respiration
as well as the primary
communication structure.

Nutritional Deficiencies
• Thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Niacin/nicotinic acid
(Vitamin B3) are also reported to cause some glossitis
and cheilitis.
• Folate deficiency leads to a megaloblastic anemia that
demonstrates many of the same oral characteristics of
pernicious anemia.
• Scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency may cause petechiae to ecchymoses in the submucosa.
• Mucous membrane changes may lead to gingival hypertrophy and erosive, bleeding gums.

– Behcet disease
Potential triggers - heredity, food and medication allergy, decreased mucosal barrier integrity, emotional stress, and trauma
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
Salivary Glands Disorders• 1-Xerostomia (dryness of mouth)
• Signs and symptoms: diminished or altered taste and smell,
• halitosis,
• heavy plaque accumulation,
• difficulty in wearing dentures,
• recurrent fungal infections,
• burning sensation,
• dysphagia,
• dry or cracked lips,
• salivary calculi and increased thirst
Xerostomia: Causes
• Medications - Antidepressants, antihistamines, diuretics
• Medical conditions - Parkinson disease, diabetes, anemia, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis
• granulomatous inflammation - tuberculosis, sarcoid, Sjögren syndrome, HIV, amyloid
• Dehydration - Fever, excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss, burns, smoking, consumption of tea, coffee
• Radiation therapy of head and neck
• Old AgeDr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
2-Excess salivation (ptyalism):
• Excessive production:
– GERD
– Pancreatitis
– Liver disease
– Serotonin syndrome
– Mouth ulcers
– Oral infections
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
Ptyalism (causes)• Decreased clearance:
– Infections eg tonsillitis, epiglottitis and
mumps.
– Jaw fracture or dislocation
– Radiation therapy
– Neurologic disorders such as myasthenia
gravis, Parkinson's disease, bilateral facial
nerve palsy and hypoglossal nerve palsy.
Changes in tongue
coating
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
Normal tongue coating is formed of:
1- Tongue papillae.
2- Food debris.
3- Bacteria.
4- Desquamated epithelium.
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
The tongue coating
varies in different individuals.
Varies in the same individual during the day
It is continuously formed
it is marked in the morning and is removed by:
1-Mechanical factors: speaking and chewing food.
2-Salivary flow
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
Tongue coating is in a continuous
process of removal and formation.
- If removal exceeds formation
atrophy
- If formation exceeds removal
increased tongue coating.
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
Atrophy of tongue coating
1- Deficient or impaired utilization of
nutrients
1-Iron deficiency anemia.
3-Vitamin B deficiency especially (vitamin B2, B6, B12, folic acid and nicotinic acid).
Pernicious anemia.
4-Anemia associated with parasitic infection as ascaris and bilhariziasis.
5-Malnutrition, malabsorption.
6-Chronic alcoholism.
Etiology
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
2- Peripheral vascular disease
1- Angiopathy: Diabetes Mellitus.
2- Vasulitis: systemic lupus
erythematosus.
3- Endarteritis obliterans: syphilitic
glossitis.
4- Obliteration of small blood vessels:
scleroderma, submucous fibrosis.
5- Localized vascular insufficiency in elderly
patients.
3- Drugs
-Drugs that:
• Interfere with the growth and maturation of the epithelium e.g cyclosporine.
• Induce candidosis e.g. antibiotic, steroid.
• Induce xerostomia e.g anticholinergic drugs, radiotherapy.
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
4- Miscellaneous
1- Frictional irritation: atrophy at tip & lateral borders of tongue.
2- Atrophic lichen planus.
3- Epidermolysis bullosa: ulceration healed by scar.
4- Long standing xerostomia.
5- Diabetes and chronic candidiasis may produce a lesion called central papillary atrophy.
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D
Increased tongue coating
(white hairy tongue)
White hairy tongue
• hypertrophy of filiform papillae resembling hair-like projections
• Aetiology:- heavy tobacco use, mouth breathing, antibiotic therapy, poor oral hygiene, general debilitation, radiation therapy, chronic use of bismuth containing antacids, lack of dietary roughage, Febrile illness.
• White, yellow green, brown, or black color is due to chromogenic bacteria or staining from exogenous sources
Black hairy tongue
Etiology
1- Candidal infection in a smoker
2- Topical and systemic antibiotics:
ex: penicillin, tetracycline, aureomycin.
3- Systemic disturbance: anemia, hyperacidity, peptic ulcer.
4- Sodium perporate and sodium peroxide mouth wash that stimulate growth of filiform papillae.
Dr. TAREK SHETA, M.D

and speech and accidental
tongue biting
