Clinicopathological study of Ulceromembranous lesions of oral cavity and oropharynx
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Ulceromembranous lesions in oral cavity and oropharynx are common conditions. Considering the variability with which an individual condition may present, as well as the fact that a variety of diseases may behave with similar presentation within the oral cavity, the practitioner must approach the diagnosis and treatment in a methodical approach. Objectives:The rationale of this study was to evaluate whether Rupatadine or Fexofenadine was better in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Materials and Methods :Our study is a prospective, observational, randomized and open study conducted for a period of 1 year from 1st December 2006 to 1st December 2007. The complete data was collected in a specifically designed case recording form (CRF), from the patients by taking history of illness and by doing detailed clinical examination and relevant investigations. Results:A study was conducted on 100 cases of ulcers and membranous lesions of oral cavity and oropharynx. Majority of the cases were non-specific ulcers (54%). Occurrence of the ulcers is almost similar in both sexes with males having an incidence of 53%. Conclusion:Low socioeconomic status, lack of education, bad oral hygiene, bad habits cultivated in early childhood are the predisposing factors. In case of ulcers associated with systemic diseases, systemic disease should be treated as per the cause. Majority of these ulcers are non specific and can be managed on out-patient basis with symptomatic treatment without need for admission and invasive tests. Whenever cause for ulcer is found or ulceromembranous lesions are associated with some systemic disease, they are to be treated accordingly.
