Mucosal disease

Author(s):

This chapter discusses the following mucous membrane disorders: pemphigus vulgaris, lichen planus, and Stevens–Johnson syndrome. Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin and the mucosal membranes with blisters and erosions. Lichen planus is a cell-mediated immunological mucocutaneous disease; oral lichen planus may present with erosions, white streaks, or plaques in the oral cavity. Stevens–Johnson syndrome is an emergency dermatological condition in which an immunological hypersensitivity causes erosions and inflammation of mucosal membranes and the skin. As well as providing definitions of these diseases, this chapter discusses their etiology, typical symptoms, uncommon symptoms, demographics, natural history, complications, diagnostic approach, other diagnoses that should be considered, prognosis, and treatment.

Desquamative gingivitis (DG) isn’t a specific disorder; it simply represents the gingival manifestation associated with some heterogeneous mucocutaneous disorders, such as oral lichen planus (OLP), mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), pemphigus vulgaris (PV), plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) and few others.

Oral lichen planus is a relatively common autoimmune disease affecting the middle-aged population. Although no treatment is necessary for a benign asymptomatic case, in case of erosive lichen planus, topical corticosteroids form the mainstay of treatment. In case of failure, apart from tacrolimus, cyclosporine, using the “swish and spit” technique, is a valid therapeutic intervention. In our case, though, this therapeutic option had to be replaced by the systemic use of cyclosporine with gratifying results.

Introduction: Some of the typical skin diseases, such as Pemphigus vulgaris, Pemphigoid mucosae oris, Erythema exudativum multiforme, Sclerodremia, Dermatitis herpetiformis-Duhring and Lichen planus, can cause swelling and irritation in mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Aim: The aim of the study was to precise diagnosis and treatment of oral Lichen planus manifestations. Methods: Analyzing the literature data and the experience of clinicians, the most common oral lichen planus manifestations were investigated. Results: This disease most commonly occurs in middle-aged patients (30-60 years) and is more common in women than in men. Oral Lichen planus is rarely seen in children. The disease presents in 0.5% to 2% of the population. Clinical history established the relation between oral Lichen planus and oral carcinoma, and therefore this disease should be considered a precancerous lesion. Conclusion: Dermatoses in the mouth are localized most often in the oral mucosa, both at the height of the occlusal line and in the mucous membrane of the retromolar area, but they can also occur in the mucous membranes of the tongue, the floor of the mouth and lips.

Oral lesion’s profi le in autoimmune disease. Oral lesions are commonly found in patients with autoimmune diseases as manifestations of the disease or a side effect of the treatment. Oral lesions must be handled properly to prevent secondary infection, relieve pain and improve the patient’s quality of life. The aim of this study is to describe oral lesions profile in patients with autoimmune diseases, including clinical characteristics and location of oral lesions as well as the distribution of age and sex of the patient. The methods were retrospective observation by describing the secondary data from patients with autoimmune handled by Oral Medicine Specialist, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Padjadjaran in dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Dental Clinic. Patient files from August 2010 untill August 2014 (n = 66) were used, with the most often diagnosis were Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE), Oral lichen planus (OLP) and Pemphigus vulgaris (PV). It is revealed that, the age of patients varied between 9 to 68 years old and there was predominance of female patients. Patients diagnosed with SLE were 26 (39.4%), 12 patients with OLP (18.2%) and 28 patients with PV (42.4%). Based on the clinical feature, the most commonly found type of oral lesion was erosion (n=52/78,8%), while the most commonly predilection was in the buccal mucosa (n = 46/69,7%). In conclusion, intra-oral examination should be used as a routine procedure in the comprehensive management of patients with autoimmune diseases. Dentist have a professional role in the diagnosis of oral lesions and provide appropriate therapy in order to improve the quality of life of patients with autoimmune diseases.ABSTRAKLesi oral biasa ditemukan pada penderita penyakit autoimun sebagai manifestasi penyakit atau efek samping pengobatan kortikosteroid jangka panjang. Lesi oral harus ditangani dengan baik untuk mencegah terjadinya infeksi sekunder, mengatasi rasa sakit dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup penderita. Pengumpulan data gambaran profil lesi oral penderita penyakit autoimun, meliputi karakteristik klinis dan lokasi lesi oral serta distribusi usia dan jenis kelamin penderita belum pernah dilakukan. Metode yang digunakan adalah non eksperimen, retrospektif dan deskripsi data sekunder penderita autoimun yang ditangani oleh bagian Ilmu Penyakit Mulut FKG Universitas Padjadjaran di SMF Gigi dan Mulut RS dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Data pasien yang dipergunakan antara bulan Agustus 2010 sampai Agustus 2014 (n=66), dengan diagnosis penyakit autoimun yang paling sering adalah Sistemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE), Oral Lichen Planus  (OLP) dan Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV). Semua pasien memberikan persetujuan pada saat dilakukan pemeriksaan dan  pengumpulan data melalui informed consent. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan usia penderita bervariasi antara 9 hingga 68 tahun dan jumlah penderita wanita lebih banyak daripada pria. Penderita yang didiagnosis SLE 26 orang (39,4%), OLP 12 orang (18,2%) dan PV 28 orang (42,4%). Berdasarkan gambaran klinisnya jenis lesi oral yang banyak ditemukan adalah erosi (n = 52/ 78,8%) dan berdasarkan lokasi lesi oral banyak ditemukan pada mukosa bukal (n = 46/69,7% penderita). Kesimpulannya, pemeriksaan intra oral disarankan menjadi prosedur rutin dalam tatalaksana komprehensif penderita penyakit autoimun. Dokter gigi diharapkan dapat berperan dalam mendiagnosis lesi oral dan memberikan terapi yang tepat sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup penderita penyakit autoimun.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory oral mucosal disorder mediated by T cells, with a multifactorial etiology. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by hypothyroidism. Although many clinical studies conducted over the past several decades have reported the cooccurrence of OLP and HT, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This review summarizes potential mechanisms that might be involved in the cooccurrence of OLP and HT. We find that OLP and HT share a common or overlapping pathogenesis in terms of immune, heredity, environmental, and hormonal factors, which might cause cooccurrence. Furthermore, considering the latency of HT, a routine screen for thyroid diseases, particularly HT, is suggested for confirmed OLP patients.
