PATHOLOGIES
They may manifest in the stomatognathic appliance (such as diseases of this appliance may have systemic repercussions).
Diabetes mellitus, various infections, autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus erytheatosus, Sjögren’s syndrome, Behçet’s disease) or neoplasms are examples.
Consideration must be given in the assessment and plan of each individual patient.
Systemic pathologies
They may manifest in the stomatognathic appliance (such as diseases of this appliance may have systemic repercussions).
Diabetes mellitus, various infections, autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus erytheatosus, Sjögren’s syndrome, Behçet’s disease) or neoplasms are examples.
Consideration must be given in the assessment and plan of each individual patient.
Medical pathologies
They are caused by local changes or result from systemic diseases. They reach the lips, gums and other oral mucosa (e.g., palate, tongue).
They may be white lesions (e.g., candidiasis, lichen planus), erytheatic (e.g., gingivitis, prosthetic stomatitis), vesiculo-bous (e.g., pemphigus, heregetetic stomatitis), ulcerative (e.g., aphthous stomatitis, neoplasms), etc.

Surgical pathologies
Usually they are of local cause, reaching the soft tissues and jaws.
They may manifest as mucosal tumefations (e.g., fibroma, granuloma) or salivary glands (e.g., mucocellus, rânula) or correspond to lesions of the jaw or jaw (e.g., palatine/mandibular torus, dental cysts).
They may also be neoplasms (benign or malignant).

Dental pathologies
The main one is caries, by frequency and severity. Other situations are related to changes in development (number, size and shape), eruption (inclusion) and position (malocclusion); abrasion and erosion are equally important.
And there are also problems that affect their support structures, such as gingivitis and periodontitis (worsening).
