Diseases In The Soft Tissues Of The Mouth And HPV Lesions

Epulis, also known as pyogenic granuloma is a benign disease of the gum producing nodes, resulting from poor oral hygiene or hormonal changes, which can become quite large over time.

A lingual fibroid is a benign condition, which can occur in the mucosa of the tongue due to chronic irritation.

These lesions appear frequently from chronic bites. Due to tissue flaccidity, or poorly designed / fitted prostheses.

Benign pathology associated with the bone and soft tissues.

Hemangioma of the lip is a pathology of vascular origin as well.

Benign blood vessel (vascular) malformation.

Intra-oral herpes associated with immunodeficiency (lowered immune defense). It can also be associated with herpangina or mouth blisters.

Pemphigus, or water blisters/ lesions, resulting from any degenerative autoimmune disease, which affects the collagen in soft tissue synthesis.

These lesions are very important because, in most cases, they are caused by external physical agents such as alcohol, smoking, vaporizers, or friction from poorly fitted prostheses or sharp edges, which can alter the superficial layers of the oral mucosa at a cellular level. Most are benign, but in some cases they can become malignant when the cellular alteration goes beyond the basal layer of the epithelium and transforms into a malignant lesion, known as a precancerous lesion (carcinoma in situ).

A condition associated with irritational factors as well as with vitamin deficiencies.
