Diseases of the teeth (dentistry)

Chronic lip fissure

Chronic lip fracture often develops on the lower lip, but localization is possible on the upper lip (24%). The course of this disease is prolonged with alternation of remissions and relapses, which is facilitated by neurodistrophic and metabolic disturbances revealed in the tissues surrounding the chronic fissure.

Eczema on the lips (eczematous cheilitis)

Eczema on the lips (eczematous cheilitis) is a chronic relapsing skin disease of the neuro-allergic nature, characterized by serous inflammation of the surface layers of the skin, itching and resulting from the action of external and internal factors.

Atopic cheilitis

Atopic cheilitis is a polyethological disease, where along with heredity, a large role is played by risk factors in the environment. Exogenous risk factors contribute to the development of exacerbations and chronic course of the disease.

Glandular cheilitis

Glandular cheilitis is more common in men, mostly 50-60 years. Glandular cheilitis develops as a result of hyperfunction and hyperplasia of small salivary glands on the border strip between the mucosa and the red lip rim (the Klein zone).

Meteorological cheilitis

Meteorological cheilitis is a disease caused by the influence of meteorological factors (high or low humidity, dustiness of the air, wind, cold).

Allergic contact cheilitis

Allergic contact cheilitis is a lip disease, which is formed by direct contact with substances that can cause a delayed-type allergic reaction.

Exfoliative cheilitis

Exfoliative cheilitis manifests itself in two forms: exudative and dry. Exudative exfoliative cheilitis is a chronic lip disease characterized by a persistent, prolonged course.

Ulcerative gingivitis

Ulcerative gingivitis - extremely rare as a primary lesion, usually represents a phase of exacerbation of chronic catarrhal gingivitis and is characterized by pronounced alteration phenomena.

Actinic cheilitis

Actinic cheilitis is a disease caused by the increased sensitivity of the red border to ultraviolet radiation (allergic reaction of delayed type), one of the symptoms of photodermatosis.

Geographic language

Geographical language is an inflammation of the tongue, usually benign and accompanied by exfoliation of the upper epithelial part (desquamation). It is more correct to call this disease desquamative glossitis (glossitis desquamativa) from the words "desquamation" - sluschivanie and glōssa - language.
