CGG is a benign process that occurs within the jaw bones and can be non-aggressive or aggressive depending on symptoms and growth rate. Both lesions contain multinucleated giant cells and are treated with surgical excision, with CGG having a slightly higher recurrence rate. Key distinguishing features and histological characteristics are provided.
A traumatic bone cyst is a lesion that forms within bone, often in the mandible, that lacks an epithelial lining. It is believed to result from trauma that causes a hematoma within the bone that fails to organize, leaving an empty cavity. Teenagers are most commonly affected, presenting with swelling or pain. Radiographs show a well-delineated radiolucent area with scalloped borders between tooth roots. Histopathology finds minimal fibrous tissue without an epithelial component.
This document provides information on pigmented lesions that can occur in the oral cavity. It discusses exogenous pigmentation caused by substances like amalgam, graphite, and heavy metals deposited in tissues. It also covers various types of endogenous pigmentation related to hematological disorders, vascular lesions, and increased melanin deposition from factors like smoking or medications. A wide range of pigmented lesions are described including amalgam tattoos, varices, hemangiomas, Kaposi's sarcoma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The causes, clinical features, and treatments of these conditions are summarized.
This document provides information on the classification, diagnosis, and treatment of odontogenic tumors. It begins by classifying odontogenic tumors into three categories based on their origin: tumors of odontogenic epithelium, mixed odontogenic tumors, and tumors of odontogenic ectomesenchyme. Ameloblastoma is then discussed in detail as the most common odontogenic tumor.

Peripheral and central giant cell granulomaRijuwana77
This document discusses two types of non-epithelial tumours of the oral cavity: peripheral giant cell granuloma and central giant cell granuloma. Peripheral giant cell granuloma originates from the periodontal membrane or alveolar bone and presents as a soft tissue nodule composed of multinucleated giant cells. Central giant cell granuloma is a rare, benign, intraosseous lesion most commonly found in the mandible of young people that causes expansion of the bone and resorption of tooth roots. Both lesions contain proliferation of multinucleated giant cells and other cells and may require surgical excision, with central giant cell granuloma having a higher rate of recurrence.
The document discusses several types of odontogenic tumors that can occur in the jaws. It focuses on describing ameloblastoma, adenomatoid tumor, and calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor. Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive tumor arising from odontogenic epithelium. It commonly presents as a painless swelling in the mandible and radiographs show multilocular radiolucency. Histologically there are follicular or plexiform patterns. Adenomatoid tumor is a rare benign tumor associated with impacted teeth. Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare, locally aggressive tumor that can be mistaken for carcinoma, presenting with calcified masses visible on radiographs.
Dens in dente is a developmental variation where the outer surface of the tooth folds into its interior, creating an invagination. It is most commonly seen in permanent maxillary lateral incisors and can extend from the crown to the root apex. Radiographically, it appears as an inverted umbrella shape within the tooth. Treatment focuses on prevention of caries, pulp infection, and premature tooth loss by addressing the invagination prophylactically.
Oral lichen planus is a common chronic mucocutaneous disease of unknown etiology that may undergo malignant transformation. It typically presents as white reticulated lines on the oral mucosa but can also appear as erosive, atrophic, bullous or other lesions. A confirmed diagnosis requires characteristic histopathology. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms like pain with topical or systemic corticosteroids and maintaining oral hygiene to reduce cancer risks.
This document provides information on malignant lesions of epithelial origin, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and other rare variants. It describes the etiology, clinical features, histological features, treatment and prognosis of these cancers. BCC most commonly develops on sun-exposed skin and rarely metastasizes. SCC is the most common oral cancer and risk factors include tobacco, alcohol, and HPV infection. Prognosis depends on staging and extent of metastasis. Rare variants include verrucous carcinoma and spindle cell carcinoma.
This document provides information on fibro-osseous lesions, with a focus on fibrous dysplasia. It discusses the classification of fibro-osseous lesions and the importance of radiology in diagnosis.

Radiographic features include mixed radiolucent-radiopaque appearances and deformities resulting from bone involvement.
This document summarizes fibro-osseous lesions (FOLs), which are characterized by the replacement of bone by a benign connective tissue matrix displaying varying degrees of mineralization. FOLs include fibrotic dysplasia, cemental lesions arising from the periodontal ligament, and fibro-osseous neoplasms. Fibrotic dysplasia is caused by a GNAS1 gene mutation and can be monostotic (single bone) or polyostotic (multiple bones). Polyostotic fibrotic dysplasia can occur with skin pigmentation and endocrine disorders. Treatment depends on symptoms and may include observation, medication such as bisphosphonates, surgical remodeling, or radical excision.
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes itchy, purple-colored papules and plaques. It is thought to be an autoimmune reaction targeting skin cells. The lesions typically appear on the wrists, legs, and oral mucosa. On microscopy, distinctive saw-tooth shaped keratinocytes (Civatte bodies) and band-like inflammatory infiltrate are seen. Treatment involves topical corticosteroids and immunomodulators. While usually self-limiting, lichen planus can lead to scarring and has a small risk of malignant transformation, especially in oral lesions.
Oral Lichen Planus is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes lesions in the mouth. It predominantly affects adults over 40 and has a female to male ratio of 1.4:1. There are several types of lesions including reticular, erosive, and plaque-like. Histological examination shows epithelial hyperplasia and dense accumulation of T-lymphocytes. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms through topical corticosteroids and systemic steroids. The goal is resolution of lesions and reducing risk of oral cancer.

Histologically, there is hyperorthokeratinization, saw-tooth rete pegs, and a band of inflammatory cells beneath the epithelium. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with topical corticosteroids to resolve lesions and reduce cancer risk.
Lichen planus is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is characterized by pruritic polygonal papules and plaques that are flat topped and violaceous. The disease commonly affects middle aged women more than men. Oral lichen planus presents as white lacy lesions inside the mouth, while skin lesions typically occur on the wrists and legs. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms through topical corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. While usually self-limiting, oral lichen planus poses a small risk of malignant transformation over the long term.
Lichen planus is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disorder that causes a bilateral rash on the oral mucosa, tongue, and gingiva. It affects women more than men and typically occurs at around 40 years of age. Lesions appear as small, flat, and angular lesions that are a few millimeters in size and progress through early red, mid reddish-purple, and late dirty brownish coloring stages. Treatment focuses on managing painful, erythematous, erosive, and bulbous lesions and improving oral health to prevent cancerous transformation, which the erosive and atrophic forms are at higher risk of.
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the skin, mucous membranes, nails, and hair. It is considered an autoimmune disorder where cytotoxic T cells attack basal keratinocytes. There are many clinical variants of LP depending on the morphology, configuration, and site of lesions. Common types include classical LP with violaceous flat-topped papules, annular LP with ring-like arrangements of lesions, hypertrophic LP forming thick plaques, and mucosal LP affecting the oral cavity. LP has associations with certain HLA types and can be triggered by drugs, infections, or autoimmune diseases.

3) Microscopic slides show cellular features of diseases such as malaria, CLL, and Goodpasture's syndrome.
This document provides information on various conditions that can present as desquamative gingivitis, including their signs, symptoms, pathogenesis, histopathology and treatment. Oral lichen planus, pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, chronic ulcerative stomatitis, linear IgA disease and lupus erythematosus are discussed in detail. The document also covers erythema multiforme and provides an overview of the differential diagnosis and evaluation of desquamative gingivitis.
This document provides information on cutaneous and oral lichen planus (OLP), including its etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical findings, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, pathology, and management. The etiology of OLP is unknown but involves the immune system, specifically T-lymphocyte cytotoxicity against basal cell antigens. OLP prevalence is reported between 0.5-2.2% and presents clinically as reticular, papular, plaque-like, bullous, erythematous, or ulcerative lesions affecting the oral mucosa and occasionally the skin, nails, hair, and genitals. Histopathology reveals a band-like lymphocytic infiltrate below the basement membrane. Treatment focuses on

This document provides information on lichen planus (LP), a common inflammatory mucocutaneous disease. It discusses the epidemiology and clinical features of cutaneous and oral LP. Cutaneous LP typically presents as pruritic flat-topped papules on the wrists and ankles, while oral LP can appear as white striae or plaques in the mouth. Histopathology reveals a dense band-like lymphocytic infiltrate beneath the epithelium. Treatment involves topical or systemic steroids and immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation and symptoms. Proper diagnosis and management of LP is important given its potential to persist for many years or undergo malignant transformation in severe cases.
This document discusses myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS), including its etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment. MPDS is characterized by localized tender bands of muscle called trigger points that can cause referred pain patterns. It commonly affects young women and is diagnosed based on clinical findings like the presence of trigger points. Treatment involves palliative therapies like occlusal splints as well as definitive therapies like trigger point injections and dry needling.
Oral and maxillofacial imaging is no exception. As a specialty that deals with uncommon lesions and complex
anatomy, both students and practicing dental clinicians
may benefit from this simplistic, pattern-based approach.
This presentation describes a compendium of the classic signs in oral and maxillofacial radiology.
Dentigerous cyst is a type of odontogenic cysts and generally occurs in the ages of twenties or thirties. Dentigerous cyst always includes a tooth which cannot complete the eruption process and occurs around the crown by the fluid accumulation between the layers of enamel organ. In rare cases, dentigerous cyst occurs in the first decade of life and develops in an immature permanent tooth as a result of a chronic inflammation of overlying nonvital primary tooth.These cyst often show no symptoms, and they are generally detected by a radiographic examination to find the reason for the delayed eruption.
Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) (sometimes known as radiation toxicity or radiation sickness) is an acute illness caused by irradiation of the entire body (or most of the body) by a high dose of penetrating radiation in a very short period of time (usually a matter of minutes). The major cause of this syndrome is depletion of immature parenchymal stem cells in specific tissues.Examples of people who suffered from ARS are the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, the firefighters that first responded after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant event in 1986, and some unintentional exposures to sterilization irradiators.
Herpes zoster is a localised disease caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus that enters the cutaneous nerve endings during an earlier episode of chicken pox, travels to the dorsal root ganglia, and remains in latent form. The condition is characterised by occurrence of multiple, painful, unilateral vesicles and ulceration, and shows a typical single dermatome innervated by single dorsal root or cranial sensory ganglion.
The term “aphthous” is derived from a Greek word “aphtha” which means ulceration. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common painful oral mucosal conditions seen among patients.
This document provides an overview of trigeminal neuralgia (TN), including its classification, causes, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment options. It defines TN as a painful affliction of the face characterized by brief, intense shock-like pain limited to the trigeminal nerve distribution. The pain is often triggered and generally affects one side of the face. Causes include compression of the trigeminal nerve root near the pons. Diagnosis is based on clinical features and MRI can identify compressing lesions or rule out other causes. Treatment involves pharmacological options like carbamazepine or surgery like microvascular decompression to relieve nerve compression.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism
Oral Lichen Planus.pptx
1. Oral Lichen Planus
Presented by
Dr. Rahul Srivastava
Professor
Rama Dental College Hospital
& Research Centre Kanpur
2. Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic mucocutaneous
disorder of the stratified squamous epithelium that
affects oral and genital mucous membranes, skin,
nails and scalp.
Word lichen planus derived from the Greek word
“leichen” means tree moss and Latin word “planus”
means flat.
3. The designation and description of the pathology
were first presented by the English physician
Erasmus Wilson in 1866.
He considered this to be the same disease as “lichen
ruber,” previously described by Hebra and
characterized the disease as “an eruption of
pimples remarkable for their color, their figure,
their structure, their habits of isolated and
aggregated development.”
4. In 1892, Kaposi reported the first clinical variant
of the disease, lichen ruber pemphigoides.
In 1895, Wickham noted the characteristic
reticulate white lines on the surface of LP papules,
today recognized as Wickham striae.
Darier is credited with the first formal description
of the histopathological changes associated with
LP.
5. Etiology of oral lichen planus
Exact etiology is still unknown, but some factors
are associated with it. These are as follows:
1- Genetic background
Familial cases are rare. An association observed
with HLA-A3, A11, A26, A28, B3, B5, B7, B8, DR1,
and DRW9.
6. 2- Dental materials
Silver amalgam, gold, cobalt, palladium, chromium
and even non-metals such as epoxy resins
(composite) and prolonged use of denture wear.
7. 3- Drugs
Oral lichenoid drug reactions triggered by systemic
drugs like: NSAIDs, beta blockers, sulfonylureas,
some angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitors, antimalarials, contact allergens
including toothpaste flavorings, especially
cinnamates.
8. 4- Infectious agents
A- Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
B- Epstein Barr virus (EBV).
C- Human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6).
D- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
5- Autoimmunity.
6- Stress.
7- Diabetes and hypertension.
9. Pathophysiology
Cellular-mediated immunity, initiated by
predisposing factors results in the production of
Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-a), Interferon-
cytokine (IFN-c), and keratinocyte, T cell or antigen-
presenting cell associations.
10. The increased production of T-helper 1 (Th1)
cytokines occurs in the early event in OLP, genetic
polymorphism of cytokines and IFN-gamma will
lead to the development of oral mucosal lesions,
increase in the frequency of 308A TNF-alpha allele
will lead to the development of skin lesions.
11. A hypothesis of the pathogenesis of OLP was
introduced by Sugerman et al. and is based on a
theoretical interaction between CD8+ T cells and
CD4+ T cells through a “request cytotoxic
activity” (RCA) cell surface molecule.
The activated CD8+T cells can trigger
keratinocytes apoptosis through TNF-alpha or a
Fas–Fas Ligand mechanism.
12. The role of metalloproteinases(MMPs) and tissue
inhibitors of metalloproteinases(TIMPs) are proven to
initiate pro-inflammatory cytokines which will lead
to inflammation.
13. RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T cell
expressed and secreted) a chemokine family also
plays a role in pathogenesis by activating the
number of cells like lymphocytes, monocytes,
natural killer cells, eosinophils, basophils, and
mast cells in oral lichen planus and the cell surface
receptors are also increased.
14.
15. Clinical features of lichen planus:
The lesions show white striations, which are
slightly elevated, fine, whitish lines known as
Wickham’s striae (Honiton lace).
Usually affect buccal mucosa, ventral and lateral
borders of tongue, gingiva and floor of the mouth.
Lingual papillae become atrophied in the areas of
involvement and the resulting smooth surface
accentuates the white striae.
16. Gingival lesions present as fiery red areas
affecting the entire width of attached gingiva called
desquamative gingivitis.
It is associated with intense sensitivity of gums to
hot or spicy food or brushing of teeth with intense
burning sensation to pain.
Skin lesions described by the six p's:
Planar, plaque, pruritic, purple, polygonal, and
papular.
17. They may be discrete and gradually coalesce in to
large plaques each covered with fine glistening
scale.
Early in onset of disease they appear red, soon
they take on reddish purple or violaceous colour.
Skin lesions commonly involve flexor surface of
legs and arms, especially the wrists, forearms,
inner aspect of thighs, trunk especially in sacral
areas.
18. Nail beds may also be affected with resultant
ridging, thinning and subungual hyperkeratosis.
Scalp involvement, if untreated can lead to
scarring and permanent hair loss.
Patients are often unaware of quiescent OLP,
which may be present only with faint white
striations, papules or plaques.
19. Exacerbations of OLP have been linked to periods
of psychological stress, anxiety or mechanical
trauma. This phenomenon is referred as Koebner’s
phenomenon.
20. Vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome
Association of LP of vulva, vagina and gingiva is
recognized as vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome.
Graham-Little syndrome
The combination of follicular LP with scarring
alopecia of scalp and non-scarring alopecia of
axilla and pubis or other areas is known as
Graham-Little syndrome.
23. Reticular
It is the most common clinical form of this disease
and presents with fine, asymptomatic intertwined
lace-like pattern called “Wickham striae” in a
bilateral symmetrical form and involves the
posterior mucosa of the cheek in most cases.
24. Erosive
This is the most significant form of the disease
because it shows symptomatic lesions often
surrounded by fine radiant keratinized striae with
a network appearance.
25. Atrophic
It exhibits diffuse red lesions and it may resemble
the combination of two clinical forms, such as the
presence of white striae characteristic of the
reticular type surrounded by an erythematous area.
Atrophic type lichen planus−sometimes representing as desquamative
gingivitis
26. Plaque-like
This type shows whitish homogeneous irregularities
similar to leukoplakia; it mainly involves the
dorsum of the tongue and the mucosa of the cheek.
27. Papular
This form is rarely observed and is normally
followed by some other type of variant described. It
presents with small white papules with fine striae
in its periphery.
28. Bullous
It is the most unusual clinical form, exhibiting
blisters that increase in size and tend to rupture,
leaving the surface ulcerated and painful.
Nikolsky’s sign may be positive.
29. Gingival Involvement
The gingival lesions in LP fall into one or more of
the following categories:
Keratotic lesions are usually present on the
attached gingiva as small raised round white
papules of pinhead size with a flattened surface.
30. Vesiculo-bullous lesions are other mucocutaneous
disorders especially pemphigoid, dermatitis
herpetiformis or linear IgA disease.
Atrophic and Erosive: Produce the desquamative
gingivitis.
31. Pigmentation is frequently associated with OLP?
Degenerative changes in basal keratinocytes
frequently led to pigmentary incontinence.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) imbalance occurs
in anxiety disorders and might be passed through
the cranial nerve, stimulating production of
melanocytes, resulting in excessive deposition in
OLP.
32. Investigations for lichen planus
Direct Immunofluorescence
Fibrinogen and fibrin are deposited in a linear
pattern in the BM zone. Colloid bodies contain
fibrin, IgM, C3, C4 and keratin. Laminin and
fibronectin staining may be absent in areas of heavy
fibrin deposition and colloid body formation. This
finding suggests BM damage in these areas.
33. Immunohistochemical (Ihc) Studies
Immunohistochemical staining using the antibody to
the S-100 protein indicates an increase in
langerhan cells in mid layer of the epithelium.
Serology
There are no consistent serological changes
associated with OLP but some patients do present
an elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) titer.
34. Biopsy
Histopathology
Liquefactive degeneration of the basal cell
accompanied by apoptosis of the keratinocytes, a
dense band-like lymphocytic infiltrate at the
interface between the epithelium and the connective
tissue.
Focal areas of hyperkeratinized epithelium (which
give rise to the clinically apparent Wickham’s
striae).
35. Occasional areas of atrophic epithelium where the
rete pegs may be shortened and pointed (saw tooth
rete pegs).
Eosinophilic colloid bodies (Civatte bodies).
36. Treatment of lichen planus
A- Topical agents
1- Corticosteroids
0.05% clobetasol propionate gel, 0.1% or 0.05%
betamethasone valerate gel, 0.05% flucinonide gel,
0.05% clobetasol butyrate ointment or cream and
0.1% triamcinolone acetonide ointment.
37. 2- Retinoids
Isotretinoin gel 0.1%, topically administered
Vitamin A, beta-all-trans retinoic acid all are
effective.
3- Topical Tacrolimus
Tacrolimus ointment is available in two strengths:
0.1% and 0.03%. The 0.1% formulation twice daily
is more effective in erosive lichen planus.
38. 4- Intralesional injection
Intralesional steroids such as triamcinolone
acetonide (10– 20 mg/ml) injections can be effective
and repeated every 2–4 weeks.
B- Systemic Steroid Therapy
The oral dose of prednisone for 70-kg adult ranges
from 10-20 mg/day for moderately severe cases to as
high as 35 mg/day (0.5 mg/kg daily) for severe
cases.
39. C- Griseofulvin
It is administered systemically in doses of
500mg/day to 1 gm/day.
D- Azathioprine
Azathioprine in doses of 50 to 100mg/day in
combination with systemic steroids shows positive
response.
E- Efalizumab
Efalizumab therapy with initial dose of 0.7mg/kg
followed by dose of 1.0 mg/kg per week for 5 week
provide good results.
40. F- Surgical excision, cryotherapy, CO2 laser, and
ND:YAG laser have all been used in the treatment of
OLP.
G- Photo chemotherapy, uses ultraviolet A (UVA) with
wavelengths ranging from the 320 to 400 nm, after
the injection of psoralen (8-Methoxypsoralen, 0.4-0.6
mg/kg) is also used.
