*'''[[Aphthous stomatitis]]:'''
===Infectious Causes===
**It is the most common cause of oral ulcers. A definitive pathogenesis does not exist for aphthous stomatitis 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. It presents as round ulcers with a grey base. Recurrence is very common in aphthous ulcers.<ref name="pmid8665304">{{cite journal| author=Ship JA| title=Recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

**It has the following forms
***Major aphthous stomatitis
****This type can last unto a few months and involves tonsils and the soft palate as well. It can subset for long intervals and then re appear.
***Minor aphthous stomatitis
****This is the characteristic form of aphthous stomatitis and is characterised by yellow-grey, painful minute ulcers in the anterior ora cavity in the buccal and oral mucosa with raised margins. They can last from a few days upto 2 weeks
***Herpetiform stomatitis
****These are multiple in number and effect the tongue at the lateral part and the tip. Ulcers are grey and very painful and are often accompanied by inability to eat. Intra nuclear inclusions can be found in the ulcers

*'''[[Herpetic stomatitis]]:'''
**This type is causes by [[HSV1]] virus. It is caused by the destructive effect cause by the virus on the tissues in the form of break down of the infected cells. The infection may start as vesicles that are typically pin-head like and ultimately rupture, resulting ulceration. As a characteristic to the virus these ulcers are painful, irregular in appearance and often have a yellow-grey covering layer.

Overview

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.[1]

Pathophysiology

Different mechanism are understood to cause different types of stomatitis:[1]

Infectious Causes

Non-infectious Types

  • Denture stomatitis:
    • Denture stomatitis effects upto 67% of denture wearers. It moct commonly affects the palatal mucosa.[16] The material used in fillings and dentures are porous because of the chemicals used and to give it a better grip. Pathogens like candida albicans can colonize such suitable sites, leading to an inflammatory response and thus denture stomatitis. The irritating effect of the foreign denture material can also contribute to the pathogenesis.[17][18]
  • Pyostomatitis vegetans:
    • Pyostomatitis vegetans is characterized by numerous painless, yellow, superficial pinpoint pustules with edema of the mucosa of the mouth. It is found in patients with ulcerative colitis. The vesicles can combine and involve the vermillion border of the upper as well as the lower lips. Snail track ulcerations are characteristic of pyostomatitis vegetans.[19][20]
    • The involvement of skin along with the oral mucosa is characteristic of an entity called pyodermatitis pyostomatitis vegetans.[21]
  • Nicotinic stomatitis:
    • As the name indicates, nicotinic stomatitis is caused by use of nicotine in cigarette or pipe smokers. It normally occurs on the hard palate of individuals who use pipes to smoke. The pathogenesis is explained by the heat and not the tobacco, and thus there is no malignant potential. The condition improves within 1 to 2 weeks of smoking cessation.[22][23][24]
  • Contact stomatitis:
    • Allergic substances present in products used for oral hygiene can lead to contact stomatitis. The pathogenesis of contact stomatitis involves an allergic response to the aromatic substances in the oral, cosmetic, or hygiene products.[25]

Genetics

Though the genetics of stomatitis have not been studied extensively, it is understood that genetic polymorphisms are associated with the occurrence of stomatitis. Inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a known inherited disease and is associated with weak epithelium. [26]

Associated Conditions

The following conditions can be associated with stomatitis.[2][27][1]

Gross Pathology

The gross pathology of stomatitis can vary from redness and inflammation to presence of vesicles or pustules. Oral candidiasis for example may present a hyperplastic picture, erythematous picture or whitish pseudomembrane (thrush).
