Record keeping of intraoral exams allows space for?

In questioning the patient about the history of their oral lesion, what 5 things are you trying to find out?

When a lesion is first seen, how is its location noted?

What are 4 ways to descrige the location and extent of a lesion?

What are 2 characteristic types of multiple lesions?

lesion limited to a small focal area

lesion that involves most of an area or segment

one lesion of a particular type with a distinct margin

more than one lesion of a particuar type

multiple lesions that are discrete, not running together; may be arranged in clusters

multiple lesions that are close to each other with margins that merge

name 4 physical characteristics of lesions discussed in class

Length and width is recorded in__________

true or false. The height of an elevated lesion may be significant

What is used to measure the size of a lesion?

What are the most common colors seen in oral lesions?

What are less common colors seen in oral lesions?

a lesion may have a _________or_____________surface

name 5 descriptive terms that describe the surface texture of an oral lesion

name 5 descriptive terms that describe the consistency of an oral lesion

most lesions can be classified readily as____________, ______________, or_________ as they relate to the normal level of the skin or mucosa

lesion above the plane of the skin or mucosa. Considered blister form, or nonblister form

lesions that contain fluid and are usually soft and translucent

what are 3 types of blisterform elevated lesions?

a small (1 cm or less in diameter) circumscribed lesion with a thin surface covering. it may contain serum or mucin and appear white

may be more or less than 5 mm in diameter. It contains pus. Pus gives it a yellowish color

large (more than 1 cm). It is filled with fluid, usually mucin or serum, but may contain blood. The color depends on the fluid content

solid elevated lesions that do not contain fluid

Name 4 types of nonblisterform elevated lesions

What are the two different attachment types for nonblisterform elevated lesions?

a small (pinhead to 5 mm in diameter) nonblisterform lesion, solid lesion that may be pointed, rounded, or flat-topped

elevated nonblisterform lesion that is bigger than a papule (greater than 5 mm in diameter, but less than 1 cm)

elevated nonblisterform lesion that is 2 cm or greater in width. It means a general swelling or enlargement and does not refer to neoplasm, either benign or malignant

nonblisterform elevated lesion that is a slightly raised lesion with a broad, flat, top. It is usually larger than 5 mm in diameter with a "pasted on" appearance

lesion bellow the level of the skin or mucosa.

The outline of a depressed lesion may be__________or____________, and there may be a_________or_____________border around the depression.

the depth of a depressed lesion is usually described as________or________

How deep is a deep depressed lesion?

What are 2 types of depressed lesions?

make up most of depressed lesions, represent a loss of continuity of the epithelium. Center is often gray to yellow, surrounded by a red border. It may result from the rupture of an elevated lesion (vesicle, pustule, or bulla)

a shallow, depressed lesion that does not extend through the epithelium to the underlying tissue

lesion on the same level as the normal skin or oral mucosa.

Flat lesions may occur as___________or______________lesions, and hav a___________or_____________form.

a circumscribed area of flat lesion that is not elevated above the surrounding skin or mucosa. It may be identified by its color, which contrasts with the surrounding normal tissues.

true or false. freckles are macules

true or false. Erosion is bigger than a plaque

true or false. Bullas are usually filled with blood more than other fluids
