Post traumatic Oral mucocele on lower lip
Session
Dental Sciences
Description
The most frequent lesions of the oral mucosa are mucoceles (muco - mucus and coele - bladder). Mucoceles are cysts filled with mucus. They are caused by the accumulation of mucus in the small salivary glands, due to the closing of the ducts of the small salivary glands, as a result of trauma, lip biting or other changes in the small salivary glands. They are benign tumors of the soft tissues of the oral cavity and cause obstacles in speech and mastication.
According to histological characteristics, they are mainly divided into two categories: retentive, which is caused by the blockage of the salivary gland duct, and extravasal, which is caused by the rupture of the salivary gland duct. Oral mucoceles can develop anywhere on the oral mucosa where minor salivary glands are present, including the lips, cheeks, and floor of the mouth, but they most commonly affect the lower lip. Oral mucoceles most commonly affect young adults, however they can affect individuals of any age.
They are soft in consistency, with cystic swelling, they are transparent, with a normal color of the oral mucosa or with a blue color.
The usual treatment of mucoceles is the surgical method.
