Stomatitis 5
Stomatitis 5 :
Stomatitis is inflammation in the mouth. The term refers to any inflammatory process affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth and lips, with or without oral ulceration. The inflammation can be caused by conditions in the mouth itself, such as poor oral hygiene, dietary protein deficiency, poorly fitted dentures, or from mouth burns and scars from food or drinks, toxic plants, or by conditions that affect the entire body, such as medications, allergic reactions, radiation therapy, or infections. When it also involves an inflammation of the gingiva (gums), it is called gingivostomatitis. (An OSH glossary used in safety and health at work which is, adopted by ILO
