Oral Signs of Diseases of the Gastrointestinal Tract Orofacial granulomatosis Complex aphthosis Pyostomatitis vegetans Inflammatory bowel disease Oral lichen planus Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
Orofacial Granulomatosis Practice Gaps Chronic inflammatory disorder presenting in oral and facial tissues with non-caseating granulomata. Oral lesions resemble those associated with Crohn disease both clinically and histologically in patients without GI involvement. One form is recognized as the Melkersson- Rosenthal syndrome, a trisymptom complex of orofacial edema, facial palsy and a fissured tongue. Therapy to reduce the granulomata and improve the cosmetic deformity is a problem.
Orofacial Granulomatosis Learning Objectives The learner will be able to describe the 3 components of orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) as exemplified by the Melkersson- Rosenthal syndrome. The learner will be prepared to evaluate the patient for associated non-caseating granulomatous diseases. The learner will be able to manage the condition effectively with corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis CLASSIFICATION Simple vs Complex Aphthosis
Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis Simple Aphthosis Term introduced by Rogers in 1992* Describes patient presentation with RAS in the absence of severe or continuous oral ulcerations, and in the absence of Behcet disease Includes the vast majority of sufferers of RAS Includes 20-50% of the population 5-25 years of age *Postgrad Med 1992;91:141. CP1164271-7
CP1164271-8
Complex Aphthosis Concept introduced by Jorizzo et al in 1984 Describes patient presentation of recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcers or almost constant, multiple oral aphthae, in the absence of Behcet disease Complex aphthosis is a small subset of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) CP1164271-9

Hematologic Status in Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis Compared with Other Oral Disease S. R. Porter, BSc, BDS, FDS, PhD, C. Scully, BSc, BDS, MD, FDS, PhD, MRCPath, and S. Flint, BDS, MBBS, FDS, Bristol, England University Department of Oral Medicine, Surgery, and Pathology, Bristol Dental Hospital and School The hematologic status of 144 consecutive patients in the United Kingdom with oral disease (69 with recurrent aphthous stomatitis; 75 with other disorders) was examined in an attempt to resolve the controversy as to whether levels of hemoglobin, blood cell numbers and indices, and blood film are adequate in the screening of patients with aphthae. Though hemoglobin levels and red blood cell indices were normal in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis, there was still a small minority of patients with deficiencies of iron (low serum ferritin), folate (low red blood cell levels), or vitamin B 12 (low serum levels) that would have remained undetected. Full hematologic screening of patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis thus reveals latent deficiency states, at least in some parts of the world, and there are good reasons for elucidating the underlying cause and correcting these deficiencies, particularly vitamin B 12 deficiency. Therapeutic studies are now required to establish the frequency with which deficiencies actually predispose to recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol 1988;66:41-4 CP1175030-111
Recurrent Aphthous Ulceration: Vitamin B1, B2 and B6 Status and Response to Replacement Therapy Nolan A, McIntosh WB, Allam BF, Lamey P-J: Recurrent aphthous ulceration: Vitamin B1, B2 and B6 status and response to replacement therapy. J Oral Pathol Med 1991; 20:389-91 An evaluation of the thiamine, riboflavin and pyridoxine (vitamin B1, B2 and B6) status of 60 patients with recurrent mouth ulcers was performed. Seventeen patients (28.2%) were found to be deficient in one or more of these vitamins. Replacement therapy of these vitamins was given to a study group of deficient patients and a non-deficient group for one month. At the end of therapy and after a follow-up period of 3 months, only those patients who had a B complex deficiency had a significant sustained clinical improvement in their mouth ulcers. Vitamin B1, B2 and B6 deficiencies should, therefore, be considered as another possible precipitating factor in recurrent aphthous ulceration. A. Nolan, W. B. McIntosh, B. F. Allam and P-J.

Oral Lichen Planus Practice Gaps Very common (2%) and underdiagnosed condition. Lesions of oral lichen planus may be premalignant. Lesions of oral lichen planus may be part of a multisite, autoimmune condition involving skin, genitalia, oral, ocular, esophageal mucosae, and nails.
Oral Lichen Planus Lesions of oral lichen planus may be part of a multisite, autoimmune condition involving skin, genitalia, oral, ocular, esophageal mucosae, and nails. Lesions of oral lichen planus may occur in patients with hepatitis C infection.

Oral Lichen Planus Hepatitis C Virus Associations Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are a global health problem Lichen planus has been associated with HCV infection Recent meta-analysis found a large regional correlation with the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Mediterranean countries HCV patients have an increased risk for developing LP and LP patients have an increased risk of having HCV infection
Oral Lichen Planus HCV Infection and OLP Three recent meta-analyses provide strong evidence of an association in all regions of the world The odds ratio is 2.8-5.4 The risk of cutaneous LP is greater than OLP (10.2 to 5.4) HCV might be associated with the pathogenesis of OLP
Oral Lichen Planus HCV Infection Screening For screening to be valuable, we would need evidence that it would identify undiagnosed cases and that the knowledge would prevent spread or improve health of the OLP patient Estimate prevalence of HCV with LP as 4% in Europe and 24% in the Middle East Screening value increased in high risk patients (IDU, sex with IV drug users, HX blood transfusion, male gender, age 30-49) Practical approach is to take a HX for risk factors and test those persons
