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.[1]
When it 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 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-cobalamins), which in turn may be evidence of poor diets 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. Some types of stomatitis may include:[2][3]
- Aphthous stomatitis
- Herpetic gingivostomatitis
- Necrotizing ulcerative stomatitis or stomatitis gangrenosa(NOMA)[4]
- Vesicular stomatitis
- Vincent's stomatitis (Trench Mouth)
- Candidal stomatitis[5]
- Denture stomatitis
- Ulcerative or Chronic ulcerative stomatitis[6][7]
- Contact stomatitis[8]
- Migratory stomatitis or geographic stomatitis
- Stomatitis nicotina
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]
- A definitive pathogenesis for aphthous stomatitis is not known but the proposed mechanism involves immune system abnormalities and the presence of autoimmune antibodies. It is thought to be caused by some types of cytokine and T cell accumulation manifesting as a defective cell mediated arm of the immunity.Recurrence is very common in aphthous ulcers.[10][11][2]
Causes
Various pathogens including Herpes virus, lack of oral hygiene and nutritional deficiencies can cause stomatitis along with many other causes. A detailed insight on the various causes of stomatitis has been described. The common causes of stomatitis include:[12][13][9]
- Aphthous stomatitis
- Dentures
- Folate deficiency
- Herpes
- Oropharyngeal candidiasis
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Chemotherapy
Differential Diagnosis
Stomatitis should be differentiated from various subtypes of stomatitis and from many other disease that can involve the oral cavity such as agranulocystosis, Behcet's disease, immunodeficiency and tutors of the oral cavity like leukoplakia etc.[3][14]
Epidemiology and Demographics
The epidemiology and demographics vary for various kinds of stomatitis.
- Herpetic gingivostomatitis occurs mostly in children between 6 months to 5 years. It can also occur in other age groups.[12]
- Noma or gangrenous stomatitis is more common in children[3]
- Pyostomatitis vegetans usually occurs between the age of 20 to 50 years[15]
Risk Factors
Many factors contribute the development of stomatitis in an individual. The risk factors for stomatitis include alcohol, smoking, trauma, stress, nutritional deficiency, immunocompromised status etc.[16] The following risk factors are believed to influence the development of stomatitis:[17][18]
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Trauma
- Psychological stress
- H. pylori
- Sensitivity to food
- Nutritional abnormalities
- Immunologic deficiencies e.g HIV
- Genetic factors
- Chemotherapy or radiotherapy[19]
- Poor denture hygiene[20][21]
Screening
Screening for stomatitis is not recommended.[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 length 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]
- Meningoencephalitis
- Recurrent skin and mouth infections
- Dissemination of the infection
- Teeth loss
Prognosis
The prognosis of stomatitis is good.
Diagnosis
History and symptoms
A thorough history and understanding of the symptoms is 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. Previous history of bad breath and refusal to eat or drink is common among patients presenting with an episode. [12] Some general symptoms associated with herpetic stomatitis include[12]
- Fever
- Anorexia
- Irritability
- Drooling
- Maliase
- Headache
