6 History andExamination ofLip andOral Cavity
• Downward corner of mouth—Oral commissures positioned inferior to the midline
labial ssure.
• Mouth narrow—Distance between the commissures more than 2 SD below the mean.
• Upward corner of the mouth—Oral commissures positioned superior to the midline labial ssure.
• Mouth wide—Distance between the oral
commissures more than 2 SD above the
mean.
• Dry lips
• Cracking corner (actinic cheilitis)
• Tingling, pain, numbness of lip and skin
around the mouth.
• Burning or tingling sensation—Vitamin
B12 deciency, depression, anxiety,
menopause.
6.1.2 Symptoms/History/Chief
Complaints ofOral Cavity
Disease
(a) Halitosis (bad breath)—It is used to dene
an unpleasant or offensive odour emanating
from breath regardless of whether the odour
originates from an oral or non-oral source.
The chemistry of halitosis is complex.
• Types of halitosis—There are various
types of bad breath experienced by the
patient.
– Rotten egg smell—Anaerobic bacte-
rial organisms usually play a prominent role in breaking down amino
acids into volatile, foul smelling,
sulphur- containing compounds and
also because gut microbiota breaks
down sulphur and releases that eggysmelling gas.
– Fruity or sweet smell—Ketoacidosis, a
complication of diabetes, often presents in the breath having a sweet, fruity
odour. Ketones produced due to the
breakdown of fat, which often resembles acetone, produce a fruity odour.
– Mouldy or fungus smell—Sinus infec-
tions often cause thick, yellowish-
green mucus to drip from the nose to
the back of the throat, which smells
like mould or fungus.
– Faecal smell—Intestinal obstruction
causes such smell.
– Fishy smell-A damaged kidney no lon-
ger can lter the waste and toxins.
These toxins and waste start to accumulate throughout the body results in a
shy breath smell.
• Duration
– Short duration—Food, smoker, tobacco
chewing, poor dental hygiene, dry
mouth, peritonsillar abscess, dental
abscess, dental carries.
– Long (chronic)—Poor dental hygiene,
sinusitis, GERD, tonsillar debris, CA
oral cavity.
• Mode of onset
– Sudden—Dental abscess, medication,
acute sinusitis.
– Gradual—Dry mouth, tooth decay, oral
cancer, tooth decay.
• Associated symptoms—Nasal discharge,
sputum production, H/O diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, regurgitation, constipation. Recurrent tonsillar infection,
dry mouth, H/o radiotherapy, H/O lever
failure, psychiatric illness.
Halitophobia—A psychiatric condition
consisting of a highly exaggerated concern
about halitosis and falls on the spectrum of
social anxiety disorders.
(b) Pain in the oral cavity—Oral pain, although
nonspecic, can be an indicator of localized
or systemic dysfunction. It can be a result of
infectious diseases affecting the tongue
(glossitis), lips (cheilitis) or any other region
of oral mucosa (stomatitis). Dental disorders
can be an alternative source of oral pain.
Similarly, it may be secondary to a salivary
gland, pharyngeal, neurological or psychological disorder.
• Duration of pain

other foods high in acidity or spice, use of
toothpaste containing the foaming agent such
as sodium lauryl sulphate
• Menstrual history—Ruled out heavy menstrual ow, which can develop iron deciency
anaemia in females.
Aetiology/Causes of Oral Ulceration
Oral ulcers may be caused by various
aetiologies.
• Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (canker
sores)—Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS)
presents as painful round or oval ulcers that
recur at different sites in the mouth. It has
been categorized into three subtypes
(Table6.9)
• Traumatic ulcer—The ulcer in the oral cavity
can be caused by different types of trauma
(Table6.10)
• Oral ulcer due to infective diseases: There
are various systemic and local diseases which
can cause oral ulceration (Table6.11)
• Oral ulceration secondary to skin disease
(Table6.12)
• Oral ulceration caused by vitamin or nutri-
tional deciency (Table6.13)
• Oral ulcer due to other miscellaneous
causes
Table 6.9 Shows different subtypes of recurrent aphthous ulceration
Minor RAS Major RAS Herpetiform RAS
Occurs in groups of around ve
small ulcers.
It appears on the non-keratinized
sites in the mouth, such as buccal
mucosa, labial mucosa or the oor
of the mouth and usually heals
within 10–14days.
Table 6.10 Shows different traumatic oral ulcers
Type of injury Description
Factitious/self-trauma Positive H/O biting the cheek, tongue or lips or rubbing a ngernail, pen or toothpick
inside the mouth. The lingual frenum is also vulnerable to ulceration by repeated
friction during oral sexual activity.
Thermal injury Positive H/O using hot food or beverages, burns are usually on the palate or posterior
buccal mucosa.
Electric burn Commonly affects the oral commissure (corner of the mouth). The lesions are usually
initially painless, charred and yellow with little bleeding, then swelling develops.
Chemical burn Positive H/O caustic chemical, holding aspirin tablet, eugenol, chloramphenicol,
hydrogen peroxide, silver nitrate, phenol.
Radiation- induced
stomatitis
H/O radiation present. Mucosal erosions and ulceration, xerostomia (dry mouth).
Occurs as one to three ulcers at any
one time.
Involve any oral sites and may take
several weeks to heal.
Involves between 10 and 50 small
ulcers at non-keratinized sites that
heal within 10–14days.

Table 6.11 Shows infective oral ulcerations
Symptoms Diagnosis
Acute painful infection of the gums presented with acute pain, bleeding and foul
breath.
It most often occurs in young children and is usually the rst exposure a child has
to the herpes virus which is also responsible for cold sores and fever blisters. The
blisters of primary herpetic gingivostomatitis rupture rapidly to produce bloodcrusted lips and widespread oral ulceration which is extremely painful, with
multiple small ulcers affecting any site in the mouth.
It is a mild, contagious viral infection common in young children. It is
characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. Hand-foot
and mouth disease is most commonly caused by a coxsackievirus.
White-grey patch on oral mucosa and tongue, common in infants,
immunocompromised
Table 6.12 Shows oral ulceration secondary to skin diseases
Symptoms Diagnosis
Site—Floor of the mouth, palate and gums. Eyes, genitals and anus, trachea Erythema multiforme
It is a mucocutaneous disease characterized by vesicles and bullae (i.e. blisters). Both
vesicles and bullae are uid-lled lesions, and they are distinguished by size (vesicles
being <5–10mm and bullae being larger than 5–10mm).
It may or may not present with skin symptoms of two types
– Reticular—It appears as bilateral and symmetrical white, lacy patches on buccal
mucosa. It is usually asymptomatic
– Erosive—These lesions are red, swollen tissues or open sores, which principally
affect the buccal mucosae, labial mucosa, tongue and attached gingivae and may
cause burning, pain or other discomfort. Symptoms can come on slowly or start all
at once with dryness in the mouth or a metallic, burning taste. These sores can be
painful and hurt the most when having spicy, salty, acidic (orange juice, tomato) or
alcoholic.
Benign mucous membrane pemphigoid (BMMP) is a heterogeneous group of
autoimmune chronic inammatory, subepithelial blistering disorders, predominantly
involving the mucous membranes. It has a female predilection and commonly occurs
after the fth decade of life. The oral mucosa is affected in more than 90% of cases.

leukaemia include gingival swelling, oral
ulceration, spontaneous gingival bleeding,
petechiae, mucosal pallor, herpetic
infections and candidiasis.
– Inammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn’s
disease, coeliac disease)—Main oral manifestations of Inammatory bowel diseases
(IBD) are cobble stoning of the oral
mucosa, labial swellings with vertical ssures, pyostomatitis vegetans, angular
cheilitis, perioral erythema and glossitis.
– Hairy leukoplakia—Oral hairy leukoplakia
is a condition triggered by the Epstein-Barr
virus (EBV). The lesion of hairy leukoplakia presents as a white patch, which almost
exclusively occurs on the lateral surfaces of
the tongue; the lesion may grow to involve
the dorsal surface of the tongue. The rare
sites of hairy leukoplakia are buccal
mucosa, soft palate, pharynx or oesophagus. The texture is vertically corrugated
(‘hairy’) or thickly furrowed and shaggy in
appearance.

– Fissured tongue—This is a benign condition,
in which the dorsal surface of the tongue is
marked by a deep, prominent groove in the
midline. There may also be small furrows or
ssures across the surface that cause a wrinkled appearance of the tongue.
– Geographical tongue—This is a benign,
harmless condition of the tongue in which
the dorsal surface of the tongue has loss of
papilla, presented as a smooth superior surface with red patches.
– Median rhomboid glossitis—This is a
benign condition of the dorsal surface of the
tongue, presented as a smooth, red, at or
raised, nodular area of the central or posterior part of the tongue with loss of papillae.
– Squamous cell carcinoma (mouth can-
cer)—This is a malignant condition of the
tongue that presents as a non-healing ulcer/
growth on the lateral border of the tongue.
(f) Discolouration of mucosa—Oral mucosa is
normally pink in colour, highly keratinized,
rm and stippled. The masticatory mucosa is
pale and covers the hard palate, dorsal surface of the tongue and gingiva, while the
non-masticatory mucosa is thin, less keratinized and more pinkish, covering the remaining intraoral structures.

6 History andExamination ofLip andOral Cavity
Clinical Features of OSMF (Table6.14)
(h) Restricted mouth opening—It is caused by
either trismus or ankylosis.
• Types of restricted mouth opening
– Trismus—Trismus, derived from the
Greek ‘trismus’, refers to restriction of
the range of motion of the jaws. It is commonly referred to as ‘lockjaw’; trismus
typically stems from a sustained, tetanic
spasm of the muscles of mastication.
– Ankylosis—Ankylosis is a stiffness of
a joint due to abnormal adhesion and
rigidity of the bones of the joint. It is
true (intra-articular ankylosis) and
false (extra-articular ankylosis).
• Duration—It can be divided into acute
and chronic depending on duration
(Table6.15).
Table 6.14 Shows stagewise clinical features of OSMF
Stage of OSMF Intraoral Extraoral
Early stage/stage 1 Symptoms—Burning sensation, stomatitis,
excessive salivation

• Duration—It can be classied as either
acute or chronic (Table6.17).
• Mode of onset
– Sudden—Trauma, mucositis, dental
abscess, acute parotitis, oral ulcer.
– Gradual/insidious—Xerostomia, post-
chemotherapy, TM joint ankylosis,
tongue paralysis, unerupted teeth.
• Associated symptoms—Earache, trauma,
dental pain, maxillofacial trauma.
(j) Reduced salivation/xerostomia (dry
mouth)
• Presentation—It can be presented with
halitosis, cracking and ssuring of oral
mucosa, dysgeusia, oral thrush, glossodynia, sticky or stringy saliva.
• Duration of symptoms
– Acute—Dehydration, exercise, anti-
histaminic drug.
– Chronic—Radiation, chemotherapy,
medication, systemic disease.
• Mode of onset of symptoms
– Sudden—Dehydration, exercise
– Gradual—Radiation, medication,
tobacco chewing, ageing, DM,
hypertension
• Associated symptom or history—H/O
radiation, medication (anti-hypertensive,
diuretics, anti-anxiety, anti-depressant,
anti-histaminic), tobacco chewing, dehydration, ageing, exercising or playing in
the heat, systemic diseases (DM, parkinsonism, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE,
scleroderma, sarcoidosis, amyloidosis,
cystic brosis, Sjogren syndrome, depression, snoring, etc.)
(k) Sialorrhea (drooling of saliva)—Sialorrhea
arises from either excess saliva production
(hypersecretion) or impaired swallowing of
saliva. Hypersecretion can be seen with
teething, parasympathomimetic or sympatholytic drugs, rabies and irritants such as
capsaicin. Impaired swallowing may be due
to infectious (severe pharyngitis, tonsillitis,
epiglottitis, peritonsillar abscess, parapharyngeal/retropharyngeal abscess, subman-
