dibular abscess/Ludwig angina),
inammatory (allergic angioedema) and
neoplastic causes (pharyngeal or oesophageal masses). Another cause of impaired
swallowing is neurological impairment
(multiple cranial nerve dysfunction, severe
brain injury and neurodegenerative disease),
which causes peripheral denervation or loss
of central motor coordination and
idiopathic.
(l) Dental occlusion—Occlusion is dened as
the way the teeth meet when the lower jaw
(mandible) and upper jaw (maxilla) come
together. It is how the teeth contact in any
type of functional relationship. Static occlusion refers to contact between teeth when
the jaw is closed and stationary, while
dynamic occlusion refers to occlusal contacts made when the jaw is moving.
• Normal occlusion—Upper teeth are
slightly anterior to lower teeth
• Abnormal occlusion (malocclusion)
– Class I malocclusion (overlay
crowded)
– Class II malocclusion (overbite)—
Upper incisor too far infront lower
incisor
– Class III malocclusion (underbite)—
Upper incisor far behind lower
incisor
(m) Loose teeth or loss of teeth—The loose
teeth or missing teeth may present with or
without gum diseases like swollen gum,
bleeding gum and red gum.
• Duration
– Acute—Trauma
– Chronic—Ageing, carcinoma,
periodontitis
• Mode of onset
– Sudden—Trauma
– Gradual—Infection, carries, carci-
noma, stress, periodontitis
• Associated symptoms—Trauma, infection, radiation, carcinoma, gum diseases,
tooth grinding or bruxism, H/O phenytoin intake, diabetes, cancer, arthritis,
osteoporosis
(n) Bleeding from the oral cavity
• Site of bleeding
– Gum—Gingivitis, trauma, microaneu-
rysm, bleeding disorders, ill-tting
denture, scurvy
– Tongue—Haemangioma, trauma,
granuloma, carcinoma, post-radiation
– Cheek—Ulcer, trauma, granuloma,
carcinoma, bleeding papule
– Hard palate—Trauma, carcinoma,
ulcer
• Duration—Acute or chronic or recurrent
• Mode of onset—Sudden or gradual
• Amount of blood loss—Mild, moderate
or severe
• Associated symptoms—Fever
• H/O bleeding diathesis, trauma, medica-
tion, bleeding from other sites, lung diseases, alcoholic liver disease, neoplasm,
tooth extraction, trauma, cough, melena,
epistaxis.
(o) Slurred speech (dysarthria)—The produc-
tion of vocal sounds is a function of the larynx. Sounds are then modulated as they pass
through the nasopharynx and mouth, which
act as resonators. Articulation consists of
contractions of the pharynx, palate, tongue
and lips, which alter the vocal sounds. Vowels
are of laryngeal origin, whereas most consonants are formed during articulation. The
consonants M, B and P are labial; I and t are
lingual; and nk and ng are guttural (pharynx
and soft palate). Test phrases or rapid repetition of lingual, labial and guttural consonants
can bring out the particular abnormality (e.g.
Ia-la-la, me-me-me, k-k- k). Dysarthia is a
motor speech disorder in which the muscles
that are used to produce speech are damaged,
paralyzed or weakened. A person with dys-
arthria cannot control his or her tongue, larynx, vocal cords and surrounding muscles,
which makes it difcult for the person to
form and pronounce words.

Table 6.20 Shows signs and symptoms of various types of aphasia
Type of Aphasia Symptoms and signs
Expressive aphasia (non-uent) Person knows what he or she wants to say, yet has difculty communicating it
to others.
Receptive aphasia (uent) Person can hear a voice or read the print, but may not understand the meaning
of the message.
Anomic aphasia Person has word-nding difculties. This is called anomia. Because of the
difculties, the person struggles to nd the right words for speaking and
writing.
Global aphasia This is the most severe type of aphasia. The person has difculty speaking and
understanding words. In addition, the person is unable to read or write.
Primary progressive aphasia Rare disorder where people slowly lose their ability to talk, read, write and
comprehend what they hear in conversation over a period of time.
hension of speech and the ability to read or
write. It is always due to injury to the brain—
most commonly from a stroke, particularly
in older individuals. People who have aphasia may have difculty speaking and nding
the ‘right’ words to complete their thoughts.
• Type of aphasia (Table6.20)
(q) Disturbance/alteration of taste sensa-
tion—There are four genuine taste qualities:
salty, sweet, sour and bitter. Recently a fth
taste quality, ‘umami’, the taste of glutamate,
aspartate and certain ribonucleotides, has
been described.

6.2 Examination ofLips andOral
Cavity
Oral mucosa covers the lip and cheek and is generally pink in colour and highly keratinized, but
masticatory mucosa covers the hard palate and
dorsal surface of the tongue, and the gingiva is
rm, stippled and pale.
6.2.1 Examination ofLip
Upper and lower lips—The normal lips are usually smooth and pliable, and the labial mucosa is
smooth, soft and well lubricated. The examination of lips should be carried out by following the
given parameters below.
1. General examination of lip—This part of the
examination includes the colour of lips, texture of lip, size of lip, any deformity, etc.
Inspection of lips
(a) Colour of lips
• Pinkish—Normal
• White—Reticular lesions of lichen
planus, leukoplakia, candidiasis,
OSMF
• Red—Inammation, atrophic epithelium, hyperplasia
• Black—Melanoplakia, tattoo, nevus
• Bluish—Haemangioma
• Translucent blue—Retention cyst
• Grey—Silver amalgam, graphite, lead,
mercury
• Yellow—Adipose tissue, gland
(b) Texture of lips—A normal lip is smooth
and pliable.
(c) Size of lip

• Abnormal—Hypertrophied, double lip
(d) Deformities of lips—These deformities
have been discussed in detail in Chap. 16.
• Types of deformities
– Cleft deformities—This is the most
common congenital deformity of
the upper lip.
– Unilateral cleft lip—Failure of the
maxillary prominence on the
affected side to join with the merged
medial nasal prominences, resulting in a persistent unilateral cleft
lip.
– Bilateral cleft lip—Failure of the
mesenchymal masses of the maxil-

lary prominences to meet and
merge with the merged medial
nasal prominences. Defects may or
may not be similar, with varying
degrees of defects on each side.
– Median cleft lip—This is very rare
and is caused by a mesodermal
deciency. Partial or complete failure of the medial nasal prominences
to merge and form the intermaxil-
lary segment.
– Non-cleft deformities.
– Lip pits—Depression located on
the vermilion of the lower lip, usu-
ally paramedian.
– Commissural pit—Depression
located at an oral commissure.
– Cupid bow—Absent or
exaggerated.
– Lip freckle—Increase lip focal
pigmentation of the vermilion of
the lip.
– Prominent nasolabial fold—
Exaggerated bulkiness of the crease
or fold of skin running from the lat-
eral margin of the nose, where the
nasal base meets the skin of the

face, to a point just lateral to the
corner of the mouth.
– Underdeveloped nasolabial
fold—Reduced bulkiness of the
crease or fold of skin running from
the lateral margin of the nose,
where the nasal base meets the skin
of the face, to a point just lateral to
the corner of the mouth.
– Everted vermilion of lower lip—
Inner aspect of the lower lip vermilion (normally opposing the teeth)
visible in a frontal view.
– Thick vermilion of lower lip—
Height of the vermilion of the lower
lip in the midline is more than 2 SD
above the mean.
– Thin vermilion of lower lip—
Height of the vermilion of the
medial part of the lower lip is more
than 2 SD below the mean.
– Everted vermilion of upper lip—
Inner aspect of the upper lip vermilion (normally opposing the teeth) is
visible in a frontal view.
– Tented vermilion upper lip—
Triangular appearance of the oral
aperture with the apex in the midpoint of the upper vermilion and the
lower vermilion forming the base.
– Thick vermilion upper lip—
Height of the vermilion of the upper
lip in the midline more than 2 SD
above the mean.
– Thin vermilion upper lip—Height
of the vermilion of the upper lip in
the midline more than 2 SD above
the mean.
– U-shaped vermilion upper lip—
Gentle upward curve of the upper
lip vermilion such that the centre is
placed well superior to the
commissures.
• Site of deformities
– Upper lip—Cleft lip with or with-
out cleft palate
– Lower lip—Cleft lip
• Type of ulcer—Aphthous ulcer (canker
sores), RAS

ulcer), aphthous ulcer (cancer sore),
BCC
– Lower lip—Cold sores (herpetic
ulcer), aphthous ulcer (cancer sore),
SCC
– Angle of mouth—Angular
stomatitis
– Both lip—Steven-Johnson syn-
drome, cold sore
• Localized or generalized

(f) Lip vesicles
• Herpes simplex (cold sore, fever
blister)
(g) Lip ssures
• Angular stomatitis or cheilosis
(perleche)
• Cheilitis
(h) Lip pigmented lesions.
• Mucous retention cyst (mucocele)
• Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
(i) Lip swelling
• Upper lip swelling (Table6.24)
• Lower lip swelling—Injury (cuts,
bites, burns or trauma), cheilitis glandularis, lip carcinoma
• Both lips—Allergies, oral allergy syndrome, angioedema, anaphylaxis,
Miescher-Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, cellulitis, erythema
multiforme
• Angle of mouth—Cold sores, herpes
infection
• Commissure of lip—Angular stomatitis is common in vitamin deciency,
iron deciency, overclosure of the jaw.
Palpation of lip—The lip should be palpated for induration, tenderness, lip tone,
swelling and bleeding on touch.
2. Aesthetic examination of lip—However, it is
important to keep in mind that the lips are
only one element that makes a smile attractive. Some of the other factors that determine
the lower face and smile aesthetic include
skeletal components (position of the jawbone
relative to the maxilla), soft tissue factors
(prominence of the chin and nose, as well as
lip and soft tissue morphology) and factors
related to the dentitions, gingivae and alveolar
bone (crown length and width, incisor crown
angulation, the incisal plane, the midline, gingival margin, open gingival embrasure and
gingiva-to-lip distance).
(a) Assessment of lower lip fullness in rela-
tionship to Ricketts E-line: (1) normal,
(2) retrusive and (3) full lower lip.
(b) The lower lip line can inuence the inci-
sor position. (1) A high lower lip line is
associated with retroclined upper incisors
and (2) a low lower lip line is associated
with incisor proclination and poor stability of overjet correction.
(c) Excessive muscular activity to close the
lips is indicated by puckering of the chin
due to mentalis contraction.
(d) A number of factors determine lip com-
petency. (1) Competent lips. Incompetent
lips due to (2) an increased LAFH, (3)
mandibular retrognathia, (4) a short upper
lip and (5) incisor protrusion.
(e) Methods of achieving an anterior oral
seal: (1) lip to lip, (2) tongue to lower lip,
(3) lower lip to palate and (4) tongue to
upper lip contact.
(f) A vigorous digit sucking habit can leave a
tell-tale colour on the digit sucked where
it rubs against the incisal edges.
(g) The nasolabial angle may be (1) normal,
(2) obtuse due to a poor upper lip position, (3) obtuse due to an upwardly sloping columella and normal upper lip
position and (4) acute due to a protrusive
upper lip.

6 History andExamination ofLip andOral Cavity
6.2.2 Oral Cavity Examination
1. General examination of the oral cavity
(a) Oro-dental hygiene
• Grading of oral hygiene—Good/average/bad
• Type of bad odour (halitosis or bad
breath)
– Rotten egg smell (Table6.25)
– Fruity or sweet smell—The breath
having a sweet, fruity odour is often
present in ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes). Ketones produced due to the breakdown of fat
produce a fruity odour.
– Mouldy or fungus smell—Sinus
infections 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 obstruc-
tion causes such smell.
– Fishy smell—A damaged kidney
no longer can lter the waste and
toxins. These toxins and waste start
to accumulate throughout the body,
resulting in a shy breath smell.
(b) Mouth opening: The normal range of
mouth opening differs from person to
person, varying between 40 and 60mm
and averaging between 35 and 55 mm,
which is equal to the width of three
ngers.
• Grading of trismus (Table6.26)
• Staging of oral submucous brosis
(Table6.27)
(c) Dental occlusion: It is the relationship
between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach
each other, as occurs during chewing or at
rest.
• Types of dental occlusion—It is of
three types (Table6.28)
(d) Malocclusion: There are different types
of malocclusions, from crooked teeth to
overbites. And they are not all mutually
exclusive.
• Overcrowding—This is also known as
dental crowding, which is due to not
having enough space in the mouth for
permanent teeth to grow straight. As a
result, people with this form of malocclusion (misalignment) have crooked
teeth that overlap each other. It can

either be mild, moderate or severe,
depending on the patient’s jaw size
and the number of teeth involved
(Fig.6.1a).
• Overjet—It is a type of malocclusion,
or ‘bad bite’, that occurs when the top
front teeth stick out past the bottom
teeth, leaving a horizontal gap between
the top and bottom rows of teeth. But
when it comes to an overjet, the upper
teeth protrude past the bottom teeth at
a specic angle (Fig.6.1b).
• Overbite—The upper teeth protrude
past the bottom teeth, but they remain
straight or downward without an
angle. The overbite condition is also
known as buck teeth. Interestingly
enough, both of these issues are
related to sleep apnoea and snoring
(Fig.6.1c).
• Crossbite—A crossbite is a dental condition that affects the way your teeth
are aligned. The main sign of having a
crossbite is that your upper teeth t
behind your lower teeth when your
mouth is closed or at rest. This can
affect teeth in the front of your mouth
or toward the back of your mouth
(Fig.6.1d).
• Underbite—An underbite is a dental
condition in which lower teeth extend
further than upper teeth. Usually, it
results from a misalignment of the jaw.
This is known as a Class III malocclusion (Fig.6.1e).
• Spacing—Teeth spacing is a condition
in which the anterior (front) teeth are
separated by large gaps (Fig.6.1f).
• Open bite—An open bite occurs when
the top and bottom teeth do not touch
at the front or back of the mouth when
the jaw is fully shut, leaving a space
between them. Open bites are a form
of malocclusion or ‘bad bite’
(Fig.6.1g).

bromas of various sites in the oral cavity are
recognized as one of the many manifestations of
multiple hamartoma and neoplasia.
