DEFINITION It is defined as a moist lining of oral cavity
that communicates with the exterior.
Mucous membrane are also found lining other body cavities such as sinuses, GIT, uterus etc.

ORAL MUCOSA
The oral mucosa consists of two layers: an epithelium (stratified squamous epithelium) & an underlying layer of connective tissue, which is the lamina propria.
Beneath selected areas of the oral mucosa is a loose connective tissue, the submucosa
![Page 7: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ORAL MUCOSA
The Epithelium Keratinization
(orthokeratinization) Parakeratinization Nonkeratinization
Orthokeratinized -- no nuclei presentParakeratinized -- pyknotic nuclei retained
![Page 8: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
keratinisation - organic process by which keratin is deposited in cells
![Page 9: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
KERATINIZED EPITHELIUM
Most of the oral mucosal surface is lined by nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium except gingiva, hard palate and dorsal surface of the tongue where the epithelium is keratinized
The keratinized cells have no nuclei and the cytoplasm is displaced by large numbers of keratin filaments
Keratinized epithelium is associated with masticatory function and have four layers of cells
![Page 10: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MASTICATORY MUCOSA
Basal layer Spinous layer Granular layer Cornified layer
![Page 11: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
NONKERATINIZED EPITHELIUM Nonkeratinized epithelial cells in the superfecial
layers do not have keratin filaments in the cytoplasm
The surface cells also have nuclei
The stratum corneum and stratum granulosum layers are absent
This epithelium is associated with lining of the oral cavity
![Page 12: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

LAMINA PROPRIA Is the connective tissue layer immediately below
the epithelium. Can be divided into the papillary layer &
reticular layer.
In the papillary layer, finger-like projections of connective tissue extend into the deep surface of the epithelium.
An increase in the number & length of the papillae is seen in areas where mechanical adhesion between the epithelium & lamina propria is required (masticatory mucosa).

WHITE LESIONS Color of oral mucosa:
O.M is translucent & reflect s content of underlying tissue.
Normal color of oral mucosa is PINK but the intensity varies due to factors like; 1 -Thickness of O.M. 2 -Degree of keratinization 3 -Amount of vascularity & fibrous content in
C.T. 4 -Formation of pseudomembrain 5 -Pigmentation producing cells like
melanocytes
![Page 17: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Color of different location of healthy oral mucosa: Masticatory mucosa= light pink Lining mucosa =reddish pink Palatoglossal arch =dusky red (due to
increase vasculrity.)

WHITE LESION
.It is a non specific term used to describe any abnormal area of o.m that on clinical examination appears whiter than surrounding tissue. It is usually slightly raised ,roughened or of different texture than adjacent normal mucosa.
![Page 19: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WHITE LESIONS
REASON OF WHITE APPEARANCE: Increase thickness of epithelium with
increase production of keratin (hyperkeratosis) & production of abnormal keratin & imbibitions of fluid by upper layer of mucosa
Pseudomembrain; occur in coagulation of tissue surface e.g. burn
![Page 20: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

WHITE SPONG NEVUS It is a hereditary dyskeratotic hyperplasia
of the mucous membrane that shows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with irregular penetrance.
Mutation in genes coding for keratins 4 & 13
It is also known as white folded gingivostomatitis,Familial white folded hypertrophy of the
mucous membrane leukokeratosis oris, hereditary leukokerarosis , leukoderma exfoliativum
mucosa oris & nevus spongiosus albus mucosae.
![Page 56: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Aetiopathogenesis: Basic defect lies in epithelial cell maturation &
desquamation. There is decreased shedding of keratin which leads to
white sponge nevus
C/F: Usually present at birth or early childhood There in no sex predilection. Involve O.M but other mucosal sites also e.g. nasal cavity ,
esophagus , larynx. Present as an asymptomatic gray white folded or
corrugated spongy mucosal lesion Mucosal lesions have a soft or spongy texture & white
opalescent hue. Few millimeters to several centimeters It is usually asymptomatic, but can become symptomatic if
secondary infection occur

HISTOPATHOLOGICAL FEATURES:
Epithelial thickening showing both acanthosis & hyperkeratosis.
Mild inflammatory cell infiltrate is seen in sub mucosa.

ORAL LICHEN PLANUS (OLP)
Derived from Greek literature Lichen=tree moss & planus=flat
Definition: Olp is a common chronic immunological
inflammatory mucocutanious disorder that varies in appearance from keratotic to erythematous & ulcerative
![Page 63: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
ETIOPATHOGENESIS: Exact etiology is unknown Olp is T cell mediated disorder in which there
is production of cytokines which leads to apoptosis.
C/F: Commonly affect 1-2% of population 25% occur on oral mucosa alone 35% occur on cutaneous surface alone 40% occur on both oral & cutaneous surfaces Female: male 2:1

MANAGEMENT: If asymptomatic then requires no specific
treatment except chlorhxidine M/W to stop secondary infection & follow up once three months.
If atrophic & ulcerative – Topical steroids (triamcinolone acetonoid
0.1%) Triamcinolone oral suspension 40-80 mg /day prednisolone 5-7 days
reducing to 5-10mg over 2-4-weeks Injection into site of prednisolone 10-20mg/ml
every 2-4 weeks Antifungal to stop candidiasis

ORAL SUBMUCOUS FIBROSIS
OSF is a chronic, progressive, scarring, high risk precancerous condition of oral mucosa seen primarily in Indian subcontinent, South east Asia, Taiwan& China.
![Page 81: White Lesion 7](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081412/5461834ab1af9f264f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
ORAL SUBMUCOUS FIBROSIS It is a chronic disease affecting any part of oral cavity. Role of Areca nuts (arecoline & tannin) in disturbing
homeostatic equilibrium between synthesis & degradation
of extracellular matrix activated inflammatory cells cytokines , growth factors fibrosis
collagen synthesis down regulating collagenase Copper in areca increases activity of enzym Lysyl
oxidase
Occasionally it is preceded & associated with vesicle formation & then followed by the hylinization of the lamina propria.
Later subepithelial & submucosal myofibrosis leads to stiffness of O.M.

ETIOPATHOGENESIS: Still unclear but it is believe to be multifactorial ; Chewing of betel nut is one of the most etiologic
factor Nutritional deficiency : anemia ,iron vitamins ,
proteins Genetic factors
C/F: Common age is 12-40 years Burning sensation , blanching of O.M. May involve buccal mucosa, retromolar area ,soft

ORAL LEUKOPLAKIA
It is the most common precancerous lesion . DEFINITION:
It is often confusing & controversial. WHO definition :(1978) Leukoplakia is a white patch or
plaque that can not be characterized clinically or pathologically as any other disease.
ETIOPATHOGENESIS: 1) tobacco (smoke & smokeless form) 2) alcohol 3) viral infection –possibly Human Papilloma Virus 4) diabetes mellitus 5) candidiasis –may be primary cause or superinfaction 7) dietary factors – vitamin A,B12 ,C ,E

ORAL LEUKOPLAKIA
TYPES OF LEUKOPLAKIA 1) Homogeneous -2) Non-homogeneous Homogeneous L. appears white uniform , flat lesion that may exhibit
shallow cracks & has smooth , wrinkle or corrugated surface with consistent texture.
Non-homogeneous L. appears white or white & red (erythroleukoplakia) lesion that may be either irregularly flat , nodular or exophytic.
FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASE MALIGNAT TRANSFORMATION:
Gender ; women seems to be at increase risk Long duration of leukoplakia Leukoplakia in non-smokers Location in floor of mouth & tongue Non-homogeneous type Presence of Candida albican Presence of epithelial dysplasia
