• Primary infection occurs at age 2-4, then stay latent until activated by e.gtrauma, allergies, UV-light, extreme temperatures etc. M: group of small vesicles on lips, nasal orifices, buccal mucosa, gingiva, hard palate, can fuse with eachother to form a polykaryon. HSV 1
• Most common fungal infection of oral cavity. Caused by C. albicans. Disease occurs b.c.o immunosupression, diabetes. 3 kinds: pseudomembranous, erythematous, hyperplastic Oral candidiasis
• Submucosal nodular fibrous tissue masses. Formed when chronic irritation results in reactive CT hyperplasia. often Located in buccal mucosa. No malignancy! Fibroma (fibrous proliferative lesion of oral cavity)
• Pedunculated masses in children, young adults & pregnant. Caused b dense proliferation of immature vessels (like in granulation tissue).
