linea alba | trauma on teeth along line of occlusion on buccal mucosa |
chronic mucosal chewing (morsicatio) | chewing/biting on oral mucosa, often stress induced |
traumatic ulcerations | when surface epithelium is replaced with fibrin and inflammatory cells; can be thermal, electric and chemical injuries |
factitial injury | when patient intentionally creates tissue damage |
traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) | proliferative, persistent inflammatory ulcers containing eosinophils aka {mucosal ulcer with stroma eosinophilia} |
Riga-Fede disease | ulcers on ventral tongue from natal teeth in newborns |
atypical eosinophilic ulceration | infiltrate of eosinophils and t-cells, indicative of a CD30+ T-cell lymphoproliferation aka {atypical T-cell proliferation with stromal eosinophilia} |
hypogeusia | loss of all four tastes |
dysgeusia | altered taste sensation |
osteoradionecrosis | necrosis of bone after radiation; exposed irradiated bone -do surgery 3 weeks before or 4 months after radiation |

medications cause MRONJ | IV bisphosphonates, oral bisphosphonates, denosumab, Prolia and Xgeva -incorporation of BP's is highest in bone repair areas like the jaws |

circumoral dermatitis | exfoliative cheilitis that involves the skin surrounding the lips too |
factitial cheilitis | when process occurs secondary to lip biting, sucking, and picking |

antal pseudocyst | accumulation of fluid under maxillary sinus floor related to adjacent odontogenic infections |
sinus mucocele | caused by obstruction of sinus ostium; usually symptomatic and requires excision |
murgical ciliated cyst | arises from sinus epithelium separated from the normal lining |
cervicofacial emphysema | air that is forced into head and neck spaces secondary to surgeries; exhibits {crepitus} |
myospherulosis | foreign body reaction of petroleum gel with antibiotics packed into wounds after surgeries |
