Diseases as a group of diseases that manifest diverse and sometimes devastating diseases for the patient. These are low-incidence but high-morbidity diseases. The primary and fundamental manifestation consists of vesicles and bullae. This aimed to study the literature on issues highlighted in the oral mucosa, studying its clinical presentation, diagnosis, as well as the importance of a clinical treatment in its...
Benign white lesions in the oral cavity have high recurrence and represent a group of entities whose main clinical manifestation is the presence of white areas in the mouth. Although there are classic features associated with each lesion, clinical appearances can be confounded, leading to incorrect diagnosis and treatment. Given the above, this work aims to describe the most common benign white lesions found in...
Metastasis is a consequence of a complex biological cascade, which begins with the detachment of tumor cells from the primary site and, via blood or lymph, spread to other sites, where they form a new neoplastic colony. They represent about 1% of all malignant tumors in this region, the oral cavity being the site most affected by neoplasms. Oral and maxillofacial cancer has high morbidity and mortality rates. T...

In addition, contamination can occur indirectly, through the use of contaminated objects, such as tattoo needles or blood transfusions. It is considered a public health problem due to its high degree of incidence, mostly in low-income countries...
Pigmented lesions of the oral mucosa comprise a diverse group of lesions that can range from physiological pigmentations, such as gingival pigmentation in people with black skin, to severe pathological pigmentations, such as oral melanoma. The identification of pigmented tissue in the oral cavity can represent difficulties in the diagnosis for the health professional. This occurs because the clinical manifestat...
