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 porus 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 irritaitive effect of the foreign denture material can also contribute to the pathogenesis.[17][18]
  • Pyostomatitis vegetans:
    • Pyostomatitis vegetans is characterised by numerous painless, yellow, superficial pinpoint pustules with oedema 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 typical for pyostomatitis vegetans.[19][20]
    • The involvement of skin along with the oral mucosa is characterised by 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 the individuals who use pipe to smoke. The pathogenesis is explained 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 the products used for oral hygiene can lead to contact stomatitis. The pathogenesis of contact stomatitis involves an allergic response to the aroma substances in the oral cosmetics or hygiene substances.[25]

Genetics

Though the genetics of stomatitis have not been studied extensively. It is understood that genetic polymorphism is 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).

Herpetic Stomatitis

Herpetic stomatitis[28]

Aphthous stomatitis

Aphthous stomatitis[29]

Microscopic Pathology

The microscopic pathology helps to confirm the diagnosis and to differentiate different types of stomatitis.[30]
