Painful, ulcerative lesions of various systemic disease can affect the oral mucosa membrane at first. If you don't consider the skin lesion, followed or accompanied by oral mucosa, you are likely to fail in differential diagnosis. In this cases, we introduced erythema multiforme and Stevens-Johnson syndrome(SJS) patients with painful, ulcerative lesions on oral mucosa and skin. Also we review oral mucosal diseases come with the skin lesions.

The purpose of this study was to examine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the oral mucosa pressure ulcer classification system based on the photographs. The study consisted of two stages; development and evaluation. In the developmental stage, 9 photographs of 82 were selected. In the evaluation stage, a total of 49 participants were invited web-based survey by e-mail. Cohen's weighted kappa and Krippendorff's alpha were used to define the inter-rater reliability. Nine photographs consisted of two, three, three, and one in normal, stage 1, stage 2, and stomatitis, respectively. The inter-rater reliabilities of wound care nurse specialist, intensive care nurse specialist, and dentist groups were 0.75, 0.70, and 0.78, respectively. The intra-rater reliability was 0.73. The inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities of the oral mucosa pressure ulcer classification system showed substantially good agreement.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is bacterial infection, with more than half of the world population infected and relates to many oral disease such oral lichen planus, recurrent aphthous ulceration, periodontal disease and halitosis and so on. Burning mouth syndrome(BMS) is defined as a burning sensation of the oral mucosa, lips, and/or tongue, in the absence of specific oral lesions. The etiology of BMS is suggested local, systemic and psychological factors and researchs related BMS and to infection of H. pyloir in the oral cavity are few. The purpose of this study was to evaluate relationship between burning mouth syndrome and H. pylori in the oral cavity. We recruited 21 subjects with burning mouth syndrome and 21 subjects as control group. Samples in the oral cavity were taken area of buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue and saliva. We analysed samples by nested polymerase chain reaction(PCR). The results were as follows: 1. Among 21 patients with burning mouth sydrome and 21 subjects of control group, 6(29%) and 3(14%) were positive respectively(P>0.05). 2. In detection rate of H. pylori in area taken sample, 3(14%), 2(10%) and 4(19%) were positive in buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue and saliva of patient and 2(10%) and 1(5%) were positive in dorsum of the tongue and saliva of control group(P>0.05). Conclusively, we can guess that H. pylori in the oral cavity is not related with burning mouth syndrome.

Epidermoid cysts can be found anywhere in the body, particularly in areas where embryonic elements fuse together. Most cases have been reported in the ovaries, the testicles, as well as the hand and feet. Epidermoid cysts in mouth are uncommon and account for less than 0.01% of all oral cysts. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision and prognosis is excellent. The purpose of this article is to describe two cases of an epidermoid cyst in the oral cavity mucosa and a review of the literature.

This study attempted to identify the entrance exam stress levels in high school students and analyze the relationship this entrance exam stress and perceived oral health status. Self-administered survey was conducted in total 304 students attending in academic high schools in Bucheon. For analysis, SPSS was used to perform t-test and one-way ANOVA. As a result of the study, the entrance exam stress level of academic high school students was 2.71. The level of sub-factors were that tension for exam/poor result was highest by 3.08 and the next were future uncertainty (2.81), parents pressure (2.56), and insufficient free time (2.52). The group with high entrance exam stress showed significantly high perceived degrees of temporomandibular disorder, oral mucosal disease and xerostama. Among sub-factors of stress, the group with high tension for exam/poor result stress had significantly high perceived degrees of dental caries, teporomandibular disorder, oral mucosal disease and xerostama. Because perception on oral health issues increased with high entrance exam stress in high school students, it is necessary to seek some ways to decrease oral health problems even though entrance exam stress is intensified. To do so, it is inferred that it will be very important to promote oral health education to develop ability of high school students to practice correct oral management method.

국소적 소인에 의한 구강내 출혈은 구소적 감염이나 원인 혹은 외상등에 의해 야기되는 것으로 혈액응고에 관여하는 여러인자의 양적, 질적 이상으로 유발되는 출혈성 소인에 의한 출혈과는 구별되어 진다. 대부분의 치과의사가 접할 수 있는 가장 흔한 출혈은 국소적 소인에 의한 것이며, 명심해야 될 사항은 이런 국소적 소인에 전신적 출혈성 소인의 한 요소일 수도 있다는 점이다. 이에 치과의사들은 구강내에서 국소적 원인을 쉽게 발견 치료할 수도 있으나, 전신적 출혈성 소인에 대한 연관성 조사를 항시 염두에 두어야 하겠다. 출혈성 소인에 의한 출혈은 특별한 외상 없이도 되부, 점막, 관절등에 자연히 출혈이 일어나며, 가벼운 외상에 의해서도 쉽게 출혈하는 경향이 있는 점이 국소적 소인에 의한 출혈과의 감별사항이다. 가장 관찰하기 쉬운 곳이 피부 및 점막으로 출혈하여 피가 모인 것을 자반(Purpura)이라 하며, 크기 및 정도에 따라 모세혈관에서의 출혈은 점상출혈(Petechia), 세동맥 및 세정맥에서의 출혈은 반상출혈(Ecchymosis), 좀더 심부에서 출혈하여 촉지되는 혈종(Hematoma)으로 나눌 수 있다. 임상적으로 구별되는 이런 양상을 잘 관찰하고 주의해야 하겠다.

A common method for treating oral mucosal diseases is taking medication by oral administration. The oral administration is the method of least resistance. Because large part of drugs is degraded by liver, it is necessary to take more drugs getting to appropriate level in blood stream. And there are so many side effects when patients take drugs by oral administration. In so many cases, the patients who suffer from oral mucosal problems have the other general diseases simultaneously. Willingly or not, some patients can't take the medicine by oral administration. Number of topical drugs for oral mucosal disease is less than that for skin diseases because the environment of oral mucosa prevents activity of medicine. In this paper, research on effects of topical type medication for treating oral mucosal diseases is conducted through investigating currently used medications and their effects. In addition, effects of dissolved oral medications with appropriate solvent are demonstrated if this medication is useful for patients clinically.
