TROPHIC ULCERS OF THE ORAL MUCOSA IN SOME SYSTEMIC DISEASES

Abstract

Changes in the state of the mucous membrane of the mouth and tongue can occur and be detected as before other clinical manifestations of systemic diseases [1, 8, 17, 23]. In many systemic (somatic, general) diseases of the oral mucosa, it reacts with the appearance of various kinds of disorders: disorders of the trophic tissues, bleeding, swelling, dyskeratosis [3, 9, 16]. Trophic ulcers of the oral mucosa clearly indicate one or another type of organ or systemic disorder and are of great diagnostic importance [7,13, 25]. However, in most cases, despite the different etiology and pathogenesis, the manifestations of systemic diseases on the oral mucosa are not specific and are characterized by similar, sometimes outwardly identical clinical signs, which creates difficulties in recognizing them [1, 10, 19].
