Cheilitis angularis

Anguläre Cheilitis ist eine Erkrankung, die rote, geschwollene Flecken in den Mundwinkeln verursacht, wo die Lippen aufeinandertreffen und einen Winkel bilden. Andere Bezeichnungen für diese Erkrankung sind Perleche und Stomatitis angularis. Sie kann auf einer Seite des Mundes oder auf beiden Seiten gleichzeitig auftreten.

Symptome

Das Wichtigste, was Sie bemerken werden, sind Reizungen und Schmerzen in den Mundwinkeln. Eine oder beide Ecken können betroffen sein:

Blutung

Blasenbildung

Rissig

Krustig

Juckend

Schmerzhaft

Rot

Schuppig

Geschwollen

Ihre Lippen können sich trocken und unangenehm anfühlen. Manchmal fühlen sich Ihre Lippen und Ihr Mund an, als ob sie brennen würden. Möglicherweise haben Sie auch einen schlechten Geschmack im Mund.

Wenn die Reizung stark ist, kann es Ihnen schwer fallen, zu essen. Möglicherweise nehmen Sie nicht genügend Nährstoffe zu sich oder Sie verlieren Gewicht.

Verursacht

Der Speichel staut sich in den Mundwinkeln und sammelt sich dort an. Wenn er trocknet, kann die Haut in diesem Bereich aufreißen. Vielleicht lecken Sie sich oft die Lippen, um die rissige Haut zu beruhigen. Die Wärme und Feuchtigkeit in den Mundwinkeln schaffen die perfekten Bedingungen für das Wachstum und die Vermehrung von Pilzen - und damit für eine Infektion.

Eine Pilzinfektion ist die häufigste Ursache für eine Cheilitis angularis. Sie wird in der Regel durch eine Hefeart namens Candida verursacht - denselben Pilz, der bei Babys Windelausschlag verursacht. Auch bestimmte Bakterienstämme können sie verursachen.

Ein Mangel an Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) kann ebenfalls zu einer Cheilitis angularis führen.

Wenn Ihr Arzt die Ursache nicht finden kann, spricht man von idiopathischer angulärer Cheilitis.

Wer ist gefährdet?

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, eine Cheilitis angularis zu bekommen, ist größer, wenn Ihre Mundwinkel häufig feucht sind. Das kann viele Gründe haben, zum Beispiel:

Sie haben eine Zahnspange.

Sie tragen eine Zahnprothese, die nicht gut sitzt.

Sie lecken sich oft die Lippen.

Sie haben sehr viel Speichel.

Ihre Zähne sind schief, oder Ihr Biss ist nicht richtig ausgerichtet.

Sie haben schlaffe Haut um Ihren Mund herum, weil Sie abgenommen haben oder zu alt sind.

Sie lutschen am Daumen.

Sie rauchen.

Sie nehmen nicht genügend Nährstoffe wie Vitamin B oder Eisen zu sich.

Bestimmte Erkrankungen können das Risiko erhöhen, z. B:

Anämie

Krebserkrankungen des Blutes

Diabetes

Down-Syndrom

Immunstörungen, wie HIV

Nieren-, Leber-, Lungen- oder Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs

Anguläre Cheilitis und Diabetes

Menschen mit Diabetes erkranken häufig an Pilzinfektionen wie Angular Cheilitis. Das liegt daran, dass sich Pilze wie Candida von Glukose ernähren - dem Blutzucker, den Ihr Körper als Energiequelle nutzt. Wenn Sie Diabetes haben, haben Sie zu viel Glukose im Blut.

Zusätzliche Glukose kann einen Nährboden für Pilze bilden. Diabetes schwächt auch Ihr Immunsystem, was es Ihnen erschwert, Infektionen abzuwehren.

Sie können Erkrankungen wie der angulären Cheilitis vorbeugen, indem Sie Ihren Blutzuckerspiegel in Schach halten. Ernähren Sie sich gesund, treiben Sie Sport, und nehmen Sie Ihr Insulin richtig ein. Es ist auch wichtig, nicht zu rauchen.

Diagnose

Um herauszufinden, ob Sie eine Cheilitis angularis haben, wird Ihr Arzt Ihren Mund genau untersuchen, um Risse, Rötungen, Schwellungen oder Blasen zu erkennen. Er wird Sie auch nach Ihren Gewohnheiten fragen, die Ihre Lippen beeinträchtigen könnten.

Andere Erkrankungen (wie Herpes labialis und erosiver Lichen planus) können ähnliche Symptome wie die Cheilitis angularis hervorrufen. Um der Ursache auf die Spur zu kommen, kann Ihr Arzt einen Abstrich von Ihren Mundwinkeln und Ihrer Nase machen und diesen an ein Labor schicken, um zu sehen, welche Arten von Bakterien oder Pilzen vorhanden sein könnten.

Behandlung

Ziel ist es, die Infektion zu beseitigen und die Stelle trocken zu halten, damit sich Ihre Haut nicht erneut infiziert. Ihr Arzt wird Ihnen eine antimykotische Creme zur Behandlung von Pilzinfektionen empfehlen. Einige davon sind:

Nystatin (Mycostatin)

Ketoconazol (Extina)

Clotrimazol (Lotrimin)

Miconazol (Lotrimin AF, Micatin, Monistat Derm)

Wenn Ihre Infektion bakteriell ist, wird Ihr Arzt ein antibakterielles Medikament verschreiben, wie z. B.:

Mupirocin (Bactroban)

Fusidinsäure (Fucidin, Fucithalmic)

Wenn Ihre Cheilitis angularis nicht durch eine Pilz- oder Bakterieninfektion verursacht wird, kann Ihr Arzt Ihnen vorschlagen, die entzündeten Stellen mit Vaseline einzucremen. Dadurch wird Ihr Mund vor Feuchtigkeit geschützt, so dass die Wunden abheilen können.

Vitamin B Complex

Scientific Names: N/A Other Common Names: N/A Overall Safety: 😊  

Therapeutic Efficacy and Considerations:

😊 Deficiencies in the B vitamins is rare in Western culture unless additional nutritional deficiencies are present (e.g., in alcoholics). An exception is vitamin B12, which can be deficient in patients with pernicious anemia, ileal disease, congenital absence of transcobalamin II, or gastric achlorhydria. Vitamin B deficiencies may still be found in developing countries. Symptoms of deficiency for each are as follows: Thiamine: peripheral neuritis, myopathy, tachycardia, CHF, and paralysis (def. called beriberi); Riboflavin: sore throat, glossitis, seborrheic dermatitis, cheilosis (cracks at the corners of the mouth), angular stomatitis; Pyridoxine: skin lesions, seizures; Niacin: dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia (def. called pellagra); Pantothenic acid: fatigue, atrophic glossitis, hyperesthesia, muscle pain, anorexia, anemia, and changes in ECG; Folic acid: growth retardation, glossitis, neural tube defects, macrocytic anemia.

Recommended Dietary Allowances: Adult Male, Adult Female

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): 1.5 mg, 1.1 mg

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): 1.7 mg, 1.3 mg

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, pyridoxal): 2 mg, 1.6 mg

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): 2 mcg, 2 mcg

Niacin: 19 mg, 15 mg

Biotin: 30-100 mcg, 30-100 mcg

Choline: 500 mg, 500 mg

Folic Acid: 400 mcg, 400 mcg

Pantothenic Acid: 4-7 mg, 4-7 mg

Inositol: 300-1000 mg, 300-1000 mg

Chemistry/Pharmacology: The B vitamin complex is a set of water-soluble vitamins grouped together due to their original isolation from the same sources. The B vitamins are readily absorbed from the GI tract. They are involved in so many metabolic pathways they all cannot be listed here. Dietary sources of each vitamin include: Thiamine: pork, organ meats, whole-grain cereals and breads, legumes, and nuts; Riboflavin: milk, cheese, organ meats, eggs, green leafy vegetables, and whole-grain cereals and breads; Pyridoxine: Meat, liver, whole-grain cereals and breads, soybeans, and vegetables; Niacin: liver, meat, fish, poultry, whole-grain cereals and bread, nuts, and legumes; Pantothenic acid: organ meats,  beef, and egg yolk; Biotin: organ meats, eff yolk, milk, fish, and nuts; Choline: egg yolk and vegetable and animal fat; Inositol: fruits and whole-grain cereals and bread; Folic acid: green vegetables, liver, yeast, and some fruits; Cobalamin: animal byproducts and legumes.

Drug Interactions: Isoniazid inhibits the formation of pyridoxine coenzymes, producing an anti-vitamin B6 effect. Prolonged use openicillaminene may produce vitamin B6 deficiency. Cycloserine and hydralazine antagonize vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 induces levodopa decarboxylation and decreases its effectiveness.

Contraindications/Precautions: The B vitamins have a low acute toxicity.

Adverse Effects: The B vitamins are well tolerated and lack significant adverse effects. They may darken urine and interfere with urine tests. Niacin may produce facial flushing, pruritus, GI distress, peptic ulcers, and hepatotoxicity.

Crohn’s Disease-Walking Towards a Cure

Authored by Mohamud A Verjee

Abstract

Crohn’s disease (CD) has a well-established reputation as an autoimmune, inflammatory bowel disorder, usually requiring pharmacological therapy for control. Affecting mainly the terminal ileum, CD can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. It usually appears in patches and can extend through the entire thickness of the colon wall. Remission with medication is achievable, but over two-thirds of patients relapse within five years. Intractable, active CD affects the quality of life of an individual and pervades every aspect of health, often with multi-organ involvement. Included are joints, skin, eyes, and blood. While the cause of CD is multifactorial, hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) provides a possible answer for control of the disease. Modified non-myeloablation regimes show great promise with improved survival rates, reduced symptoms, or full remission.

Introduction

A 28-year-old male attended the Emergency Department of a tertiary care hospital with an acute onset of left sided lower abdominal pain. The patient’s previous history confirmed several previous acute episodes of CD, all treated aggressively. The patient’s disappointment with all the treatment to date resulted in a refusal to accept more medication. He expressed his view vociferously. “I do not want any more medicines. I can’t stand any more hospitalizations. I need a cure!”

CD or regional ileitis is an idiopathic, immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory bowel disorder that can involve the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus. Most cases of CD affect the small intestine, particularly the terminal ileum, three times more than the jejunum and the rest of the small bowel [1].

Epidemiology

The highest incidence of CD occurs in the United Kingdom in Caucasian women after one year’s use of the contraceptive pill, at twelve cases per 100,000. In the United States, the average rate of incidence of CD varies from seven cases per 100,000 to twenty in smokers [2]. The peak ages of onset are bimodal at 15-30 years and 60-80 years [3]. The prevalence is highest amongst populations of Jewish ancestry.

Etiology

Genetic, environmental, microbial, immunologic, and dietary factors are involved in the development of CD. Monozygotic twins studied with the disorder show 58% concordance. Linkage analysis and genome wide association studies reveal a hundred disease-associated loci on different chromosomes. Smoking, oral contraceptives, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs all feature in precipitating the illness.

Pathogenesis

In genetically predisposed individuals, several endogenous and exogenous factors interact to produce a dysfunctional mucosal inflammatory reaction, further modified by environmental factors.

The dysregulated response of the T-helper lymphocyte predominates in CD. Cytokine-activated inflammatory cells release several inflammatory mediators precipitating injury to the intestinal mucosa. The initial intestinal inflammation is commonly from superficial ulcerations that progress into deeper layers, involving the entire colonic mucosa and affecting regional lymph nodes, in the form of non-caseating granulomas.

Clinical Presentation

Numerous signs and symptoms typify the disorder. Not all need to be present but pain, weight loss, fatigue and diarrhea are common denominators. The patient experienced all of the above signs and symptoms.

Intestinal manifestations to elicit

Abdominal pain.

Weight loss.

Fatigue.

Intermittent diarrhea.

Low-grade fever.

Post prandial pain.

Hematochezia.

Anal fissure.

Anorexia, nausea, and vomiting.

Extra-Intestinal manifestations include

Arthritis and arthralgia.

Sweet syndrome.

Angular and aphthous stomatitis.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Episcleritis and anterior uveitis.

Pyoderma gangrenosum.

Nephrolithiasis.

Work-Up and Diagnosis

Laboratory investigations include

Complete blood cell count (CBC).

Chemistry panel(lytes, albumin, Fe, TIBC, Ca2+, Mg2+, Vit B12, folate, liver function (monitoring sclerosing cholangitis).

Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR).

Stool analysis (WBC, FOB, pathogens, ova, parasites, C. difficile).

Serologic markers (antibodies: ASCA, ALCA, ACCA, AMCA, anti-L, anti-C, anti-OmpC, PAB, pANCA.

These markers cover all those that might be associated with CD and ulcerative colitis (UC), including situations where the disorder is not clearly delineated.

According to Casciani et al. [1] more than 20% of all CD patients present before 18 years of age. Imaging studies are various, with every attempt to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation, especially in children and adolescents. They include

Plain x-ray.

Barium studies-small bowel enteroclysis (SBE) or follow-through (SBFT).

Ultrasonography.

CT scan.

Upper GI endoscopy.

Ileocolonoscopy and ultrasound.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

PET-CT.

PET-MR (Predicted for the future [1]).

Management

Medical therapy includes

Immunomodulators and monoclonal antibodies (e.g. Azathioprine, Methotrexate, mercaptopurine).

Biologic anti-TNF therapy (Infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab).

Corticosteroids (high dose).

Immunosuppressive therapy (Cyclophosphamide; antithymocyte globulin).

Antibiotics (Ciprofloaxacin, Metronidazole).

Anti-diarrheal medication (Loperamide, Diphenoxylate, codeine sulfate).

Nutritional supplements (Iron, Vit B12, folic acid).

Bile acid sequestrates (Cholestyramine).

Surgical therapy

Indications for invasive surgical intervention include

Persistent symptoms despite medical treatment

Fistulae formation and other complications.

Bowel resection for malignancy (lymphoma).

Consideration of small bowel transplantation.

Is There a Cure?

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCST): Multipotent, healthy, hemopoietic stem cells arise from bone marrow, peripheral, or umbilical cord blood. They can be autologous or allogeneic. Stem cells can be syngeneic between identical twins. When certain cancers such as leukemia or multiple myeloma are involved, patients are subjected to immunosuppression through intense chemotherapy or radiation treatment before receiving a stem cell transplant. The main problems arising are graft vs. host reactions, and significant infection due to immunosuppression. The procedure extends to autoimmune diseases [1] among other rare disorders.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplants [4,5] are saved for patients with the severest expression of disease, who fail standard therapy, most likely with anti-tumor necrosis factor refractory disease, and whose Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) exceeds 250 [6]. The duration of remission after treatment is still uncertain. A fall in the CDAI to below 150 signifies remission. The Harvey-Bradshaw index [7] arose for data collection in 1980, and a simpler clinical assessment CDAI followed later in 1980 [8].

(Table 1) [6].

The first successful hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was at Northwestern University in Chicago, in 2001[3]. Twenty-two patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with 80% achieving total remission, and 20% markedly improved in their quality of life.

Burt et al. [9,10] in 2010 evaded irreversible bone marrow failure by using modified non-myeloablative protocols, which halted destructive inflammation, enabling the bone marrow to recover. Immunosuppressive drugs are needed for the rest of life, as bone marrow is rendered inactive by myeloablation. Following a non-myeloablative regimen, autologous stem cells are infused as a supportive blood product to hasten recovery and shorten duration of neutropenia and cytopenia [9,10].

Lindsay et al. [11] completed unmasked treatment with randomly assigned patients, but masked adjudicators in assessing outcomes (ASTIC Trial). Treatment related infection was the main complication, as well as worse outcomes in smokers. They suggested therapy “be targeted to patients most likely to benefit.”

Conclusion

The patient was lost to follow up. Seeking another treatment center or carer were possible reasons. HSCT techniques have improved clinical outcomes in CD and show endoscopic benefit but may cause significant side effects. Careful selection of patients with appropriate counseling seems more prudent rather than regarding HSCT as another option for treatment, although some patients may enquire about, or insist on other forms of treatment, when they have tried everything else on offer.

Health Care Review

HEALTH AND DISEASE

The concept of Health is somewhat difficult to understand. When we say a person is healthy, it means to the lay man that the person is normally doing his activities and does not outwardly show any signs of any disease in him. However, for the medical man at walk in clinic Thunder Bay it denotes the conformity to certain standards like physical measurements, biochemical norms and rates, physiological standards, etc. Even these standards vary with race, rest, exercise, food, habits, starvation, climate, altitude, latitude, etc. It has been extremely difficult for scientists concerned with human biology to lay definite criteria for health and define the term Health in a specific manner.

From the history of medicine we know that there have been various systems of medicine or healing arts evolved in different parts of the world during different civilizations. But in no system has there been a clear-cut definition of health.

In the oxford dictionary health means the state of being free from sickness, injury or disease, bodily conditions; something indicating good bodily condition. A few decades ago this meaning was conveyed in the definition of health but recently the World Health Organization have considered it necessary to give a direction towards the achievement of a robust and happy and active bodily and mental condition capable of continuous productive ability and, therefore, have defined health as follows:

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity." (WHO---1948) it will be seen that even after having this definition it will be difficult to conceptualise and standardise positive health with specific clear-cut attributes and criteria for measurement. A person may be enjoying mental equanimity and enthusiasm for doing anything. He may also be physically able to do any amount of work, but he may be having some minor dysfunction or deficiency or even a mild infection causing a very minor disturbance which however does not upset his normal activities.

For example, Hyper pigmentation on the skin or lack of pigmentation on the skin; angular stomatitis due to B complex deficiency; a ring-worm patch on the skin, etc. In these conditions strictly speaking the person cannot be called 'health' but for outward purpose he will appear healthy and he will also be fully active. Similarly, under the mental component there are ever so many stresses and strains that an individual is exposed to and depending on his own mental make-up he is either able to overcome the strain or suffers from worry and depression. If in spite of his worry he is able to function normally others may take him to be healthy, whereas the worry may normally be making him mentally unsound.

Social well-being is very much related to the mental adjustment of the individual to others around him in the family or in the community. Sometimes it may so happen that a person may find it had to adjust with his group and may, therefore, be under a mental strain. But he may be doing his work normally from which others would judge him to be healthy. It is only if he reaches a break-point and behaves either in a withdrawn manner or becomes aggressive that his mental condition will become manifest to be seen and experienced by others.

We have, therefore, to understand that the term health is not an abstract thing but a relative concept. In it we see a continuum of freedom from sickness to better health and positive health. When we say positive health we refer to a condition in which the body has sufficient reserve nutrition and resistant factors to prevent the invasion of the body by any micro-organism or by the deprivation of any nutritional factors causing a deficiency pathology and, therefore, completely free from disease.

Disease is a little less difficult to define than Health. It denotes the condition of the human body in which something has gone wrong and has upset the Norman functions of the body including the mind. As in health there is also a continuum from a predisposition or premonition of illness which may or may not be experienced or noticed even by the individual concerned, to a definite condition of illness manifested by signs or symptoms and impairment of body functions.

This continuum may further extend from mild sickness to severe sickness and death or recovery from sickness back to a debilitated condition and later to a normal condition.

As has been pointed out in the previous paragraphs the normally of health of person may shift towards positive health depending on the improvement of health by wholesome food, wholesome water proper living conditions, proper work atmosphere, good personal hygiene, etc., or the deterioration of health due to faulty or inadequate food, infection through food, water or air, skin or due to external injuries, accident etc.

For maintenance of good health the following things are essential:

1. Adequate quantities of proper nutrition 2. Adequate quantities of safe drinking water 3. Proper shelter with adequate ventilation and lighting 4. Proper clothing 5. Proper work, exercise and rest and recreation 6. Proper social conditions for a harmonious existence and work 7. Proper security from fear of any kind 8. Proper sexual behavior 9. Personal hygiene 10. Provision and utilization of health services.

Disease can be due to say one or more of the following causes:

1. Genetic traits 2. Congenital deformity or malformation 3. Cancer 4. Malnutrition 5. Poisons

The above are the direct causes.

The science of epidemiology employs various methods and approaches to explore, investigate, identify and establish the cause of disease as against maintenance of health in the individual, in the community and in a geographical area. Modern epidemiology has revealed a multiple causation theory for most of the diseases. The direct or immediate causes may be congenital, traumatic, infection or cancerous growth, etc. But besides these direct causes, many indirect and predisposing causes have been described,

For example, tuberculosis is caused by the tubercule bacilli, called myco bacterium tuberculosis, this is the direct cause. The other causes which predispose a person to the infection by tubercule bacillus may be overcrowding, poor nutrition, bad ventilation, heavy work, fatigue, etc. It may be appreciated that these causes are socio-economic causes. The economic factors arising out of poor means of livelihood, inadequate food, etc., are also inter-related with human and social factors like bad ways of living, customs, habits, beliefs, superstitions, etc. Taking another example, malnutrition may be due to either lack of availability of nutritious food in adequate quantities or the wrong practices of preparation of food in which nutrients may be wasted. The economic factors may be the cause for non-accessibility and the social factors may be the cause of wastage of nutrition even after the food stuffs are available or on the contrary over eating and addiction to alcohol, etc., causing metabolic disorder. In the rural countryside we have a lot of locally available food resources but the habits may be such that the people do not know what can be eaten and how, for deriving nutrition.

The human and social factors are very predominant determinants in any society or community. In affluent countries many of the metabolic diseases like obesity, heart diseases, diseases due to air pollution, etc., are on the increase due to social customs. In the poor countries the large number of communicable diseases and nutritional deficiencies are due to poor sanitation, poor hygiene and low and faulty intake of food. These are again in turn due to economic and social factors.

Study of human behavior is extremely important in public health and in any community oriented programme. The mere opening and establishment of hospitals or clinics or treatment centers by any government or voluntary agencies does not immediately ensure that all the people will use the facilities whenever they fall sick. For a person to seek treatment for a particular illness from a doctor or an institution the following stages of human behavior are expected to take place.

Social psychology has a very prominent place as a diagnostic tool in the beginning of the programme and also as a tool of evaluation where the programme is under progress or at its termination. For example, in the control of Cholera or any gastro enteric infection, it will be futile to introduce any sanitation programme unless the people know the causative factor and the mode of transmission of infection. There may be need to improve the water supply, provide proper excreta disposal, food hygiene and personal hygiene. All these things involve a scientific awareness of the reasoning behind each measure or practice and a change of behavior accordingly.

Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is a water soluble vitamin. Small amounts of riboflavin are stored in liver and kidneys. Riboflavin gets easily inactivated in the presemce of sunlight. This is the reason why people refrain from storing milk in glass containers. Foods that are particularly rich in riboflavin include eggs, organ meats (kidneys and liver), lean meats, and milk. Green vegetables also contain riboflavin. Grains and cereals are fortified with riboflavin.  In addition to inadequate intake, causes of riboflavin deficiency can include endocrine abnormalities (such as thyroid hormone insufficiency). The signs and symptoms of riboflavin deficiency (also known as ariboflavinosis) include skin disorders, hyperemia (excess blood) and edema of the mouth and throat, angular stomatitis (lesions at the corners of the mouth), cheilosis (swollen, cracked lips), hair loss, reproductive problems, sore throat, itchy and red eyes, and degeneration of the liver and nervous system.

KANDIDIASIS ERITEMATOUS KRONIS a.k.a. DENTURE RELATED STOMATITIS Stomatitis gak melulu sariawan. Stomatitis adalah peradangan (itis) di mulut (stoma). Salahsatunya stomatitis terkait gigi tiruan (denture-related stomatitis). Jika dulu hal ini dianggap sebagai proses peradangan, tetapi sekarang dikerahui ada keterlibatan spesies Kandida (jamur rongga mulut) sehingga istilah yang dipakai saat ini adalah kandidiasis eritematous kronis (KEK). Kandidiasis yang berwarna kemerahan (eritematous). KEK bukan meruakan reaksi alergi terhadap bahan pelat gigi tiruan. Umum ditemukan pada rahang atas, karena pada rahang bawah terdapat mekanisme pembersihan oleh saliva yang memiliki muara di sekitar rahang bawah. KEK juga dapat memicu angular cheilitis (AC). Kondisi ini diistiahkan dengan Candida-related angular cheilitis. FYI: pada tahun 1962, seseorang bernama Newton mengajukan klasifikasi denture stomatitis yaitu Tipe I: Gambaran lesi hiperemis berupa titik kecil (pin-point) Tipe II: Gambaran daerah eritem yang difus sesuai pola pelat gigi tiruan yg berkontak dengan mukosa Tipe III: Gambaran permukaan mukosa yang bergranulasi Berkonsultasi dengan doktergigi Spesialis Penyakit Mulut (SpPM) atau Spesialis Prostodonsia (SpProsth) mengenai kondisi ini adalah langkah bijak untuk dilakukan.

What’s the Difference between Angular Cheilitis and Cold Sores?

See What’s the Difference between Angular Cheilitis and Cold Sores? on The Cold Sores Cured Website or read the entire post below:

Born from the herpes simplex virus, cold sores form in the area where initial viral transmission took place. Angular cheilitis, which is not a virus, is the result of a bacterial or fungal strain. Although both produce painful bumps and blisters, the two conditions are different.

It is also known as angular stomatitis, cheilosis, and perlèche produces sores in the corners of the lips. These painful lesions are the result of saliva being trapped in the corners of the mouth.

If you are concerned about your newly present blister, this guide will be of help to you. You'll be able to recognize your symptoms and treat the condition correctly.

What are the Symptoms of Angular Cheilitis?

The primary symptoms associated with angular cheilitis involve sores on either one or both corners of the lips/mouth. These problem spots can produce red blisters that can potentially bleed. Over time these areas can become quite swollen, cracked, crusty, and painful.

Other symptoms can also take place inside of the mouth. A general dry mouth can occur along with a burning sensation accompanied by a foul taste. As blisters grow in size and increase in pain, opening the mouth to its full extent can become an issue. Being able to take proper bites of food can also present a problem.

The primary cause is saliva becoming trapped in the corners of the mouth. As the saliva dries, cracks in the skin can occur. To minimize these cracks, most people soothe the area with saliva by making a pass with their tongue. Unfortunately, this can make matters worse.

As additional saliva and moisture become trapped in the corners of the mouth, a fungus can begin to develop. This leads to infection. Fungal infection is the most common cause of this condition. Candida, which is a type of yeast, is primarily to blame. This is the same type of fungus that is responsible for diaper rash.

While not as common, certain types of bacterial strains can also be responsible for this condition. If your physician is unable to identify the specific cause, the issue is then referred to as idiopathic angular cheilitis.

To summarize...

Red bumps and blisters at the corner(s) of the mouth are the hallmark symptoms.

The condition itself is caused by saliva and moisture becoming trapped in the corners of the mouth and leading to infection. In the majority of cases, the issue is a fungal infection caused by candida yeast.

Bacterial strains can also be responsible.

How to Tell Angular Cheilitis and Cold Sores Apart

From a visual standpoint, trying to tell the difference between angular cheilitis and cold sores can be tough. This is especially true if you have never personally dealt with either. However, there are a few specifics concerning cold sores that will help you spot the differences.

First and foremost, cold sores have a life cycle. Before the formation of a fever blister, you will feel a tingle or burning sensation in a specific area of the lip. Long before a blister forms, you will know something is not right. That should sound an alarm in your head if you are trying to tell these two conditions apart. Angular cheilitis, on the other hand, does not have a warning sign or a distinct life cycle.

Another way to tell these two ailments apart is how the blisters form. Cold sores tend to group in tiny clusters rather than just a single bump. Angular cheilitis usually presents itself as one large blister. Because it is confined to the corners of the mouth, the infection typically manifests as one outbreak rather than a cluster.

Finally, cold sores, especially during an initial outbreak, can produce other symptoms. A headache, fever, swollen lymph nodes, etc., are all common. Angular cheilitis produces nothing in that regard. In fact, you will likely feel fine. Excluding the obvious, this condition (in and of itself) should have no bearing on any other aspects of your general health.

The treating of cold sores them in a timely fashion is critical. Although painful, fever blisters can be healed within a matter of days if you are proactive. OTC options such as HERP-B-GONE and Orajel have never been more popular.

To recap...

Cold sores and angular cheilitis can look quite similar, but the smallest of details can produce the biggest difference.

Cold sores produce symptoms before a visual manifestation. Angular cheilitis does not.

Fever blisters form in clusters. Angular cheilitis, due in large part to limited room in the corner of the mouth, tend to produce just one noticeable bump or blister.

Cold sores, especially during an initial outbreak, can produce other symptoms.

It should also be noted that cold sores are born from the herpes simplex virus. Angular cheilitis is not a virus. Additionally, angular cheilitis blisters are confined to the corners of the mouth, thus the problem from the start. Cold sores, on the other hand, occur where direct viral transmission has taken place.

Can Cold Sores Trigger Cheilosis?

Because cold sores and cheilosis are independent of each other, this type of scenario is unlikely. However, it could be possible that cheilosis could trigger cold sores.

If we take a look at each condition individually, we discover that cheilosis is quite simplistic by comparison. Saliva trapped in the corners of the mouth is all it takes to spark a problem. While the issue is visually annoying and physically painful, the understanding of the condition is quite basic.

However, cold sores are more complex. Because fever blisters are essentially triggered by a host of external and internal influences, there is no easy way to simplify the issue.

Because poor general health and stress can weaken the immune system, cold sores can form in HSV-1 carriers. Given that cheilosis is indeed a condition that can tax both the mind and body, fever blisters can form. Any condition, big or small that takes away from your general health can serve as an open door for cold sores.

To summarize...

While cold sores are unlikely to trigger cheilosis, this condition, especially if aggressive, can cause cold sores.

It is essential to understand that cold sores are born from a dormant virus. There are numerous ways the virus (HSV-1) can be sparked. Once a trigger takes place, cold sores are born. Just the act of having cheilosis could increase the likelihood of fever blisters.

Is Angular Stomatitis Contagious?

Angular stomatitis can't spread to other areas of the lips or the body. However, some people are more susceptible.

Listed below are just a view reasons/conditions can cause this condition:

Those who wear braces on their teeth.

Those who wear ill-fitting dentures.

If you have a natural habit of licking your lips.

You have a lot of saliva.

Individuals who have crooked teeth or an incorrect bite regarding proper alignment.

Sagging skin around the mouth due to weight loss, age, or perhaps a pre-existing condition.

If you are a regular smoker, there is a greater chance of saliva becoming trapped in the corners of your lips.

Lack of proper nutrition, particularly iron and vitamin B.

Specific medical conditions can also play a role in the development of angular stomatitis. While the conditions themselves obviously demand great importance, angular stomatitis is an unwanted side effect.

Several notable conditions include...

Any cancer-related to the blood.

This condition is linked to angular stomatitis due to the glucose connection. Because candida feeds off glucose, those who are diabetic can develop a perpetual state of angular stomatitis. The higher your glucose, the more susceptible you become to this ailment. Infection is also naturally more difficult to combat if you are diabetic. Proper diet and exercise can help to manage this situation.

Down syndrome

Various immune system disorders such as HIV, for example, can lead to increased saliva.

Cancer of the kidney, liver, lung, and pancreas can also promote this condition.

Although the issues noted below vary regarding severity by a wide margin, discussing the issue with your physician can help. Many of the triggers noted above can be managed and potentially eliminated in some cases.

What Treatments Are Available for Perlèche?

While the primary goal of any form of treatment would be to keep the area dry and prevent additional infection, medication will vary. This is because some forms of perlèche are bacterial while others are fungal.

If your infection is fungus related, a selection of several antifungal creams are available. Your doctor will likely recommend or prescribe one the following.

Clotrimazole

Ketoconazole

Miconazole

Nystatin

As it relates to bacterial infections caused by perlèche, selections such as mupirocin and fusidic acid are common.

In addition to the medications noted above, your physician may also suggest applying petroleum jelly to the infected areas. This can act as somewhat of a seal against moisture and saliva thus allowing your sores to heal.

Cold sores and angular cheilitis are not the same, but they are problematic and painful. Protecting your lips is critical. It is easy to take positive oral health for granted until trouble comes. The pain associated with blisters can be overwhelming and can impact how you eat, drink, and relate to others.

If you have suddenly developed a blister on your lip and you are not sure of its origin, we encourage you to consult your physician.

What Would the World Look Like Without Dental Implant?

Dental Implant: Common Concerns

If the denture is well-fitting and the adhesive is only used to provide included stability, there Denture Adhesive ought to be no ill results. If adhesives are used excessively to fill voids for an ill-fitting denture, they can be damaging to the hidden soft and difficult tissues. Occasionally, in these cases, swelling of the soft tissues can result.

Occlusal view of the exact same maxillary denture Dentures (also called incorrect teeth) are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, and are supported by the surrounding soft and tough tissues of the mouth. Conventional dentures are detachable (detachable partial denture or complete denture). Nevertheless, there are numerous denture designs, some which count on bonding or gripping onto teeth or oral implants (repaired prosthodontics).

Techniques for False Teeth

Dentures do not feel like real teeth, nor do they function like genuine teeth. Dentures can help people through: Mastication or chewing ability is enhanced by replacing edentulous areas with denture teeth. Aesthetic appeals, due to the fact that the presence of teeth gives a natural look to the face, and wearing a denture to replace missing out on teeth offers support for the lips and cheeks and corrects the collapsed appearance that arises from the loss of teeth.

There is especially improvement in pronouncing words including sibilants or fricatives. Self-esteem, since improved appearances and speech boost confidence in the ability to connect socially. Denture stomatitis is an inflammatory condition of the skin under the dentures. [1] It can impact both partial and complete denture wearers, and is most typically seen on the palatal mucosa.

False Teeth Overview

People with denture stomatitis are most likely to have angular cheilitis. [2] Denture stomatitis is triggered by a combined infection of Candida fungus albicans (90%) and a number of germs like Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Fusobacterium and Bacteroides species. [3] Acrylic resin is more vulnerable for fungal colonisation, adherence and expansion. Denture trauma, bad denture health and nocturnal denture wear are regional danger elements for denture stomatitis.

A person needs to be examine for any underlying systemic disease. Improve the fit of uncomfortable dentures to get rid of any dental trauma. Stress on the value Additional hints of good denture hygiene consisting of cleaning of the denture, soaking the dentures in disinfectant option and not using it throughout sleeping in the evening is the key to deal with all kinds of denture stomatitis.

It can be triggered by recurring minor trauma like badly fitting dentures consisting of over-extension of a denture. Pressure showing paste can used to inspect the fitting of dentures. [4] It allows the areas of early contact to be distinguished from areas of physiologic tissue contact. [5] Therefore, the particular location can be polished with acrylic bur.

Encourage the individual to use warm salt water mouth rinses and a betamethasone rinse can recover ulcer. [6] Review of persisting oral ulcers for more than 3 weeks is recommended. [7] People can become entirely edentulous (without teeth) for numerous reasons, the most common being removal due to dental illness, which normally connects to oral flora control, i.e., periodontal disease and tooth decay.

The Best Partial Looseness Tips

Periodontitis is defined as an inflammatory sore mediated by host-pathogen interaction that leads to the loss of connective tissue fiber accessory to the root surface and eventually to the alveolar bone. It is the loss of connective tissue to the root surface that results in teeth falling out. The hormones connected with pregnancy increases the threat of Gingivitis and throwing up.

Hydrochloric acid is the acid associated with gastric reflux, also understood as morning illness. This acid, at a p H of 1.5-3.5 coats the enamel on the teeth; at a p H of 6.5 and generally impact the palatal surface areas of the maxillary teeth, ultimately the enamel is softened and easily uses away.

Removable Partial Denture Basics and 101

Strong force may cause the root of the tooth to entirely dislocate from its socket, mild trauma may trigger the tooth to chip. Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing some of their teeth on a particular arch. Repaired partial dentures, likewise called "crown and bridge" dentures, are made from crowns that are fitted on the remaining teeth.

Fixed bridges are more expensive than detachable home appliances but are more stable. Another option in this category is the flexible partial, which takes advantage of developments in digital technology. Flexible partial fabrication involves only non-invasive treatments. Dentures can be hard to tidy and can impact oral health. [8] Complete dentures are worn by patients who are missing all of the teeth in a single arch-- i.e., the maxillary (upper) or mandibular (lower) arch-- or, more typically, in both arches.

Primary Principals of Dental Prosthesis

These dentures need less sees to make and normally are produced older clients, clients who would have trouble adapting to brand-new dentures, would like a spare set of dentures or like the aesthetic appeals of their dentures currently. This requires taking an impression of the patients present denture and remaking them. [9] Dentures are primarily made from acrylic due to the ease of product adjustment and likeness to intra-oral tissues, ie.
