==Overview==
Stomatitis is an [[inflammation]] of the [[mucous lining]] of any of the structures in the [[mouth]], which may involve the [[cheeks]], [[gums]], [[tongue]], [[lips]], [[throat]] and roof or floor of the [[mouth]].  The [[inflammation]] can be caused by conditions in the mouth itself, such as poor [[oral hygiene]], poorly fitted [[dentures]], or from mouth [[burns]] from hot food or drinks, or by conditions that affect the entire body, such as [[medications]], [[allergic reactions]], or [[infections]]. A form of stomatitis known as stomatitis nicotina can be caused by [[smoking]] cigars, [[cigarettes]], and pipes, and is characterized by small red bumps on the roof of the mouth.<ref>{{cite web|year=1969|title=Smoking and Noncancerous Oral Disease|format=PDF|work=The Reports of the Surgeon General|url=http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/NN/B/B/L/N/_/nnbbln.pdf|accessdate=2006-06-23}}</ref>
Stomatitis is an [[inflammation]] of the [[mucous lining]] of any structure in the [[mouth]], which may involve the [[cheeks]], [[gums]], [[tongue]], [[lips]], [[throat]], and/or the roof or floor of the [[mouth]].  The [[inflammation]] can be the result of conditions within the mouth itself, such as poor [[oral hygiene]], poorly fitted [[dentures]], or mouth [[burns]] from hot food or drinks. It may also be caused by conditions that affect the entire body, such as [[medications]], [[allergic reactions]], or [[infections]]. A form of stomatitis known as ''stomatitis nicotina'' can be caused by [[smoking]] cigars, [[cigarettes]], and/or pipes, and is characterized by small red bumps on the roof of the [[mouth]].<ref>{{cite web|year=1969|title=Smoking and Noncancerous Oral Disease|format=PDF|work=The Reports of the Surgeon General|url=http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/NN/B/B/L/N/_/nnbbln.pdf|accessdate=2006-06-23}}</ref>


When it also involves an [[inflammation]] of the [[gingiva]], it is called [[gingivostomatitis]].
When stomatitis also involves an [[inflammation]] of the [[gingiva]], it is called [[gingivostomatitis]]. [[Irritation]] and [[fissure|fissuring]] in the corners of the lips is termed [[Angular cheilitis|angular stomatits]] or [[angular cheilitis]]. In children, a common cause of angular stomatitis is repeated lip-licking; in adults, it may be a sign of underlying [[iron deficiency anemia]], or [[vitamin B]] deficiencies (e.g., [[Riboflavin deficiency|B2-riboflavin]], [[Folate deficiency|B9-folate]], or [[B12]]-[[Cobalamin|cobalamins]]), which in turn may be evidence of poor dietary habits or [[malnutrition]] (e.g., [[celiac disease]]).
[[Irritation]] and [[fissure|fissuring]] in the corners of the lips is termed [[Angular cheilitis|angular stomatits]] or [[angular cheilitis]]. In children a frequent cause is repeated lip-licking and in adults it may be a sign of underlying [[iron deficiency anemia]], or [[vitamin B]] deficiencis (e.g. B2-[[riboflavin]], B9-[[folate]] or [[B12]]-[[Cobalamin|cobalamins]]), which in turn may be evidence of poor dietary habits or [[malnutrition]] (e.g. [[celiac disease]]).

===Classification===
There is no known [[classification]] of stomatitis. Stomatitis can be classified on the basis of [[aetiology]] and on the basis of the [[pathogens]] involved.

Overview

Stomatitis is an inflammation of the mucous lining of any structure in the mouth, which may involve the cheeks, gums, tongue, lips, throat, and/or the roof or floor of the mouth. The inflammation can be the result of conditions within the mouth itself, such as poor oral hygiene, poorly fitted dentures, or mouth burns from hot food or drinks. It may also be caused by conditions that affect the entire body, such as medications, allergic reactions, or infections. A form of stomatitis known as stomatitis nicotina can be caused by smoking cigars, cigarettes, and/or pipes, and is characterized by small red bumps on the roof of the mouth.[1]

When stomatitis also involves an inflammation of the gingiva, it is called gingivostomatitis. Irritation and fissuring in the corners of the lips is termed angular stomatits or angular cheilitis. In children, a common cause of angular stomatitis is repeated lip-licking; in adults, it may be a sign of underlying iron deficiency anemia, or vitamin B deficiencies (e.g., B2-riboflavin, B9-folate, or B12-cobalamins), which in turn may be evidence of poor dietary habits or malnutrition (e.g., celiac disease).

Classification

There is no established classification system for stomatitis. Stomatitis can be classified on the basis of aetiology or on the basis of the pathogens involved. The infectious and non-infectious types of stomatitis may include:[2][3]

Pathophysiology

Stomatitis is the inflammation of the mucosal surfaces in the mouth. Various factors can contribute to the pathogenesis of stomatitis depending on the type of stomatitis.[9]

Causes

Various causes, including herpes virus, lack of oral hygiene, and nutritional deficiencies, can lead to the development of stomatitis. The most common causes of stomatitis include:[12][13][9]

Differential Diagnosis

Stomatitis should be differentiated from various subtypes of stomatitis, as well as from many other disease that can involve the oral cavity, such as agranulocystosis, Behcet's disease, immunodeficiency, and tumors of the oral cavity (e.g., leukoplakia).[3][14]

Epidemiology and Demographics

The epidemiology and demographics vary among different kinds of stomatitis.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors in the development of stomatitis include alcohol, smoking, trauma, stress, nutritional deficiency, and immunocompromised status.[16] The risk factors believed to influence the development of stomatitis include:[17][18]

Screening

According to the the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF), there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for stomatitis.[22]

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

If left untreated, herpetic stomatitis resolves after the vesicles erupt and the ulcers heal. The HSV travels along the nerves and moves to the ganglions where it stays in latent form. When the host becomes immunocompromised after taking medications or due to some other illness, the virus assesses the opportunity and through the same nerves becomes active once again manifesting symptoms such as oral vesicles.[12] The viral shedding can continue for 2-12 days after primary infection.[23]

Complications

Some complications of stomatitis include:[12][24]

Prognosis

The prognosis of stomatitis is generally good.

Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

It is necessary to collect a thorough history and understanding of the symptoms in order to arrive at a diagnosis of stomatitis. The diagnosis of stomatitis is mostly clinical. The location and features of the ulcers are also important findings for this purpose. Previous history of bad breath and refusal to eat or drink are common among patients presenting with an episode.[12] Some general symptoms associated with herpetic stomatitis include:[12]

Physical Examination

A thorough history and physical exam are a necessary for a detailed understanding and diagnosis of stomatitis. The diagnosis of stomatitis is mostly clinical. The location and features of the ulcers are also important findings in this regard. The exam findings may include:

Laboratory Findings

History and physical examination are the primary means of diagnosing stomatitis. If required, laboratory findings can play an important role in diagnosing and differentiating between different types of stomatitis. Viral culture, Tzanck smear for active lesions, serology, studies using immunofluorescent techniques, and PCR are a few techniques normally used to diagnoses herpetic stomatitis.

X ray

There are no X ray findings associated with stomatitis.

CT

There are no CT findings associated with stomatitis.

MRI

There are no MRI findings associated with stomatitis.

Ultrasound

There are no ultrasound findings associated with stomatitis.

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Preventive measures and medical therapy are the mainstay of therapy for stomatitis. The medical therapy varies for various causes and types of stomatitis.The therapy for stomatitis is governed by following principles:[25]

Surgery

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of most types of stomatitis. It is not preferred unless there is a suspicion for an oral tumor or a biopsy is required for the diagnosis of the exact type of stomatitis. Surgical debridement may be done for Noma or trench mouth. Surgery is sometimes performed for cosmetic reasons (e.g., in the case of noma/gangrenous stomatitis).

Primary Prevention

Effective measures for the primary prevention of stomatitis include:

Secondary Prevention

Effective measures for the secondary preventive measures for stomatitis include:

  • Treatment of IBD prevents the development of pyostomatitis vegetans.[27]
  • Treatment of candidiasis
