MUCOUS MEMBRANE DISEASES OF THE ORAL CAVITY AND METHODS OF THEIR TREATMENT

Abstract

Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. Stomatitis can be an independent disease and also a characteristic sign of other diseases (measles, rubella, candidiasis). If the inflammation is on the tongue, it is called glossitis, if it is on the gums, it is called gingivitis. Each of these has its own symptoms. Metabolic diseases (avitaminosis, diabetes), diseases of the nerves and internal organs, vitamin deficiency, and disorders of the internal secretion glands can also occur. Smoking, drinking alcohol, eating very hot or very cold, sour and salty foods can also cause stomatitis. Stomatitis also occurs when there is an increased sensitivity to certain drugs, in particular, during self-medication, during puberty, when it is difficult for wisdom teeth to erupt. Despite the different forms of stomatitis, they have common symptoms: the tissues around the mucous membrane of the oral cavity swell, redden, and become inflamed. stands, submandibular lymph nodes are enlarged.
