Stomatology
Oral medicine is the specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the oral cavity, including the oral mucosa, the jaw bones and the salivary glands.
The specialty of clinical stomatology deals with the diagnosis and conservative treatment of diseases such as the following:
- Fungal infections
- Traumatic injuries
- Bacterial infections
- Viral infections
- Abscesses and ulcers
- Red cell diseases
- Precancerous lesions
- Cancer of the mouth
- Benign neoplasms
- Damage from medicines
- Oral manifestations of systemic diseases such as autoimmune diseases
Dermatology, blood diseases etc. - Most people think that all lesions that appear on the tongue, palate, lips, cheeks, roof of the mouth, gums and hurt, sting or bleed are aphthae or gingivitis.
- In fact, diseases of local or systemic etiology (i. e. there is a general problem in the organism) can occur in the oral mucosa and they concern:
Infections that may be caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses. - Damage from self-injury or injury from dentures and damaged sockets or broken teeth.
Balls, cysts or tumours. - Bad breath, dry mouth, an excruciating feeling of “burning” or “burning”, loss of taste and more.
- Skin diseases, because the lining of the mouth is a continuation of our skin and many skin diseases can only occur in the oral cavity.
- Adverse side effects from medicines and allergies
- Blood diseases.
- Diseases from our digestive system.
- Precancerous lesions that, if caught in the early stages, have a good chance of not developing into something bad.
- Side effects from chemo/radiotherapy.
In our clinic, a specialist stomatologist, with whom we cooperate, undertakes the therapeutic treatment of these diseases, which requires accurate diagnosis with the strict adherence to the diagnostic methodology based on the necessary paraclinical examinations and close cooperation with other medical and dental specialties.
