Inflammation of the mucous lining of any of the structures in the mouth, which may involve

the cheeks, gums, tongue, lips, and roof or floorof the mouth. The word "stomatitis" literally

means inflammation of the mouth. The inflammation can be caused by conditions in the mou

thitself, such as poororal

hygiene,poorly fitted dentures, or from mouthburnsfrom hot food or drinks, or by condition

s that affect the entirebody, such as medications, allergic reactions, or infections.

Description

Stomatitis is an inflammation of the lining of any of the soft-

tissue structures of the mouth. Stomatitis is usually a painful condition,associated with redne

ss, swelling, and occasional bleeding from the affected area.Bad

breath(halitosis) may also accompany thecondition. Stomatitis affects all age groups, from t

he infant to the elderly.

Causes and symptoms

A number of factors can cause stomatitis; it is a fairly common problem in the general adult

population in North America. Poorly fitted oralappliances, cheek biting, or jagged teeth can

persistently irritate the oral structures. Chronic mouth breathing due to plugged nasal airways

can cause dryness of the mouth tissues, which in turn leads to irritation. Drinking beverages t

hat are too hot can burn the mouth, leading toirritation andpain.Diseases, such as herpetic in

fections (thecommon

coldsore),gonorrhea,measles, leukemia,AIDS,and lack of vitaminC can present with oral s

igns. Other systemic diseases associated with stomatitis include inflammatory bowel disease

(IBD) and Behet'ssyndrome, an inflammatory multisystem disorder of unknown cause.

Aphthous stomatitis, also known as recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) orcanker

sores,is a specific type of stomatitis that presents withshallow, painful ulcers that are usually

located on the lips, cheeks, gums, or roof or floor of the mouth. These ulcers can range from

pinpointsize to up to 1 in (2.5 cm) or more in diameter. Though the causes of canker sores ar

e unknown, nutritional deficiencies, especially ofvitamin B12, folate, or iron is suspected. Ge

neralized or contact stomatitis can result from excessive use of alcohol, spices, hot food, orto

bacco products. Sensitivity to mouthwashes, toothpastes, and lipstick can irritate the lining o

the mouth. Exposure to heavy metals, suchas mercury, lead, or bismuth can cause stomatitis.

Thrush, a fungal infection, is a type of stomatitis.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of stomatitis can be difficult. A patient's history may disclose a dietary deficiency,

a systemic disease, or contact with materialscausing an allergic reaction. Aphysical

examinationis done to evaluate the oral lesions and other skin problems. Blood tests may be

doneto determine if any infection is present. Scrapings of the lining of the mouth may be sent

to the laboratory for microscopic evaluation, orcultures of the mouth may be done to determ

ine if an infectious agent may be the cause of the problem.

Treatment

The treatment of stomatitis is based on the problem causing it. Local cleansing and good oral

hygiene are fundamental. Sharp-edged foodssuch as peanuts, tacos, and potato chips should be avoided. A soft-

bristled toothbrush should be used, and the teeth and gums should bebrushed carefully; the p

atient should avoid banging the toothbrush into the gums. Local factors, such as ill-

fitting dental appliances or sharpteeth, can be corrected by a dentist. An infectious cause can

usually be treated with medication. Systemic problems, such as AIDS,leukemia, and anemia

are treated by the appropriate medical specialist. Minor mouth burns from hot beverages or h

ot foods will usuallyresolve on their own in a week or so. Chronic problems with aphthous st

omatitis are treated by first correcting any vitamin B12, iron, or folatedeficiencies. If those th

erapies are unsuccessful, medication can be prescribed which can be applied to each aphthou

s ulcer with a cotton-

tipped applicator. This therapy is successful with a limited number of patients. More recently

, low-

power treatment with a carbon dioxidelaser has been found to relieve the discomfort of recur

rent aphthae. Major outbreaks of aphthous stomatitis can be treated with tetracyclineantibioti

csorcorticosteroids.Valacyclovir has been shown to be effective in treating stomatitis cause

d by herpesviruses.

Patients may also be given topical anesthetics (usually a 2% lidocaine gel) to relieve pain an

d a protective paste (Orabase) or a coatingagent like Kaopectate to protect eroded areas from

further irritation from dentures, braces, or teeth.

Alternative treatment

Alternate treatment of stomatitis mainly involves prevention of the problem. Patients with su

ch dental appliances as dentures should visittheir dentist on a regular basis. Patients with syst

emic diseases or chronic medical problems need to ask their health care provider whattypes o

f oral problems they can expect from their particular disease. These patients must also contac

t their medical clinic at the first sign ofproblems. Common sense needs to be exercised when

consuming hot foods or drinks. Use of tobacco products should be discouraged.Alcohol shou

ld be used in moderation. Mouthwashes and toothpastes known to the patient to cause problems should be avoided.

Botanical medicine can assist in resolving stomatitis. One herb, calendula (Calendula officin

alis), in tincture form (an alcohol-

based herbalextract) and diluted for a mouth rinse, can be quite effective in treating aphthous

stomatitis and other manifestations of stomatitis.

More recently, a group of researchers in Brazil have reported that an extract made from the l

eaves of Trichilia glabra, a plant found in SouthAmerica, is effective in killing several virus

es that cause stomatitis.

Prognosis

The prognosis for the resolution of stomatitis is based on the cause of the problem. Many loc

al factors can be modified, treated, or avoided.Infectious causes of stomatitis can usually be

managed with medication, or, if the problem is being caused by a certain drug, by changingthe offending agent.

Prevention

Stomatitis caused by local irritants can be prevented by good oral hygiene, regular dental che

ckups, and good dietary habits. Problems withstomatitis caused by systemic disease can be m

inimized by good oral hygiene and closely following the medical therapy prescribed by thepa

tient's health care provider.

cause stomatitis.

SYMPTOMS. There is generally swelling and redness of the tissues of the mouth, which may b

ecome quite sore, particularly during eating. Themouth may have an unpleasant odor. In som

e types of stomatitis the mouth becomes dry, but in others there is excessive salivation.Ulcer

ations may appear, and, in extreme cases, gangrene (gangrenous stomatitis).

Other forms of stomatitis may occasionally cause more severe symptoms, including chills, fe

ver, and headache. Sometimes bleeding orwhite patches in the mouth can be seen. Inthrush,

the symptoms themselves may be slight (white spots in the mouth resembling milkcurds) but

the disease may give rise to serious infections elsewhere in the body. In some cases, stomatit

is causes inflammation of theparotid glands.

Stomatitis resulting from certain diseases presents special identifying symptoms. Syphilitic st

omatitisproduces painful ulcers in the mouth;in scarlet fever the tongue first has a strawberr

y color, which then deepens to a raspberry hue; in measles,Koplik's SPOTSappear.

TREATMENTANDPREVENTION. The treatment varies according to the cause. When the infla

mmation is caused by anemia, vitamin deficiency, orany infection of the body, both the unde

rlying disease and the stomatitis are treated. Antibiotics often are effective against the infecti

on andprevent its spreading to the parotid glands. Severe stomatitis can be a side effect of ch

emotherapy and radiation to the head and neck astreatment for cancer. Measures to alleviate t

he inflammation and promote healing include increasing fluid intake and using artificial saliv

a tominimize dryness and help buffer acidity in the mouth, avoiding liquids and foods that ar

e chemically irritating or extremely hot, and frequentand consistentMOUTH CARE.

With proper care, many cases of stomatitis can be prevented. Cleanliness is essential, especia

lly of the mouth, teeth, dentures, andfeeding utensils. Infants may acquire mouth infection fr

om the mother's oral flora, dirty bottles, or the mother's nipples. In the case of aprolonged fe

ver or of any severe general illness, dryness of the mouth should be avoided by ingestion of increased amounts of fluids.
