The course of the disease is divided into acute and chronic, which affects the treatment. According to the cause of the pathology, a distinction is made between traumatic stomatitis, bacterial, viral, fungal, prosthetic (as a result of wearing dentures), allergic, drug-related (as a result of irritation of the mucous membrane by drugs) and radiation-related (when exposed to radiation).
Stomatitis - inflammation of the lining of the mouth
Stomatitis, ie inflammation of the oral mucosa, is one of the most common dental diseases. Everyone has at least once experienced the symptom of this disease - a whitish, small, painful ulcer with rounded edges. It can appear on the tongue, palate, gums, lip, or inside of the cheek and is accompanied by symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, localized fever, and pain. The disease may be limited to reddening of one or more areas of the mucosa or may progress to an ulcer.
Why does stomatitis occur?
Stomatitis is non-infectious and occurs as a response of the immune system to a decrease in general immunity and an exacerbation of chronic diseases. An exception is herpetic stomatitis, which is transmitted by air and contact. In various mechanical traumas caused by a fishbone, a sharp edge of a tooth or a tooth crown, the pathology is a defensive reaction to the mucosal damage.
Stomatitis – causes and triggers of stomatitis:
- Mechanical damage to the mucous membrane – biting the inside of the cheek, stabbing with a sharp object, trauma from a broken tooth or a failed crown, abrasion of the gum from a denture, etc.
- Chemical or thermal burns - consumption of acidic or spicy foods, strong alcoholic beverages.
- Nicotine stomatitis – irritation and subsequent inflammation from the harsh ingredients in tobacco products.
- Poor oral hygiene – Poor oral hygiene leads to an overgrowth of microorganisms that can cause inflammation.
- Allergic reaction.
Stomatitis occurs most often in children, but the disease is also widespread in adults. While in children the disease usually develops against the background of oral wound infection, in adults the trigger is acute viral infections, helminthic infections, HIV infections and the acute exacerbation of chronic diseases.
causes of injury
In most cases, joint injuries are the result of overuse.
- Hard physical work;
- walking in high heels;
- bad foot position when walking or running;
- physical activity;
- direct shocks to the ankle;
- walking on uneven terrain;
- landing failure.
Young people are particularly at risk (most injuries occur between the ages of 15 and 25).
What types of ankle injuries are there?
The type of injury depends on the type of force applied to the ankle.
fractions
The most common cause of this problem is an injury sustained while jumping or running. Twisting the foot shifts and rotates the ankle bone, resulting in a fracture of one or both ankles.
Often the injury is complicated by a ligament injury. Fractures can be closed (without soft tissue or skin damage) or open.
Clinical signs of ankle injuries include.
- Severe swelling of the ankle, rapidly increasing in size;
- Severe pain that increases with movement;
- deformity of the joint (if the injury is aggravated by dislocation of the foot);
- crepitations from fractures.
Fractures are clearly visible on x-rays.
Indirect signs of soft tissue injury:
To clarify the diagnosis, X-rays are taken in three projections.
Classification of fractures according to the mechanism of injury:
- repair of displaced fractures;
- Immobilization in position with a cast or other device;
- Restoring the integrity of the ligament apparatus.
In the case of displaced bone fragments, osteosynthesis is performed to better fix them.
- The lateral side is.
- Medial and lateral side.
- Diabetic foot ulcers.
- Bump on the side of the child's foot.
- hole in the heel.
- Take off the ankles.
- Pain in the heel bone of the foot.
- cysts in the ankle.
