In the International Histological Classification, cementoma is classified as a tumor whose occurrence is associated with the connective tissue of the odontogenic organ.
Most patients seek dental care with complaints of jaw pain. It should be understood that toothache due to pulpitis is a subjective symptom, despite the fact that its intensity can be compared to renal colic. The perception of pain largely depends on the patient's personality, which makes it difficult to assess it objectively.
Macrocheilitis (Miescher's granulomatous cheilitis) is the leading symptom of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (Rossolimo-Melkersson-Rosenthal). The disease is characterized by a combination of macrocheilitis, folded tongue and facial nerve paralysis. Macrocheilitis has a chronic course with alternating periods of exacerbation and remission.
Chronic lip crack most often develops on the lower lip, but localization on the upper lip is possible (24%). The course of this disease is long with alternating remissions and relapses, which is facilitated by neurodystrophic and metabolic disorders detected in the tissues surrounding the chronic crack.
Eczema on the lips (eczematous cheilitis) is a chronic recurrent skin disease of a neuro-allergic nature, characterized by serous inflammation of the superficial layers of the skin, itching and arising as a result of external and internal factors.
Atopic cheilitis is a polyetiological disease, where, along with heredity, environmental risk factors play a major role. Exogenous risk factors contribute to the development of exacerbations and chronic course of the disease.
Glandular cheilitis is more common in men, mainly 50-60 years old. Glandular cheilitis develops as a result of hyperfunction and hyperplasia of the minor salivary glands on the border strip between the mucous membrane and the red border of the lips (Klein's zone).
