Transient lingual papillitis (TLP) is a medical term for painful, hypertrophic, red, and white lingual papillae on the tongue. [3] TLP is also called lie bumps and fungiform papillary glossitis. This condition has four types: classic form, transient u-shaped lingual papillitis, papulokeratotic variant, and eruptive lingual papillitis. [4]
Atrophic glossitis, also known as bald tongue, [3] smooth tongue, Hunter glossitis, Moeller glossitis, or Möller-Hunter glossitis, [14] is a condition characterized by a smooth glossy tongue that is often tender/painful, [15] caused by complete atrophy of the lingual papillae (depapillation). [3]
Often the entire vault of the hard palate is involved, with the alveolar mucosa being largely spared. White cottage cheese–like colonies of Candida may be seen in clefts between papules. There is seldom pain, but a burning sensation may be produced by the yeast infection.
Necrotizing gingivitis (NG) is a common, non-contagious infection of the gums with sudden onset.The main features are painful, bleeding gums, and ulceration of interdental papillae (the sections of gum between adjacent teeth).
Necrotizing gingivitis: painful, bleeding, sloughing ulceration and loss of the interdental papillae (usually of the lower front teeth) Necrotizing gingivitis, is a common, non-contagious infection of the gums. If improperly treated necrotizing may become chronic and/or recurrent.
Filiform papillae are the most numerous of the lingual papillae. [1] They are fine, small, cone-shaped papillae found on the anterior surface of the tongue. [3] They are responsible for giving the tongue its texture and are responsible for the sensation of touch. Unlike the other kinds of papillae, filiform papillae do not contain taste buds. [1]
Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis: painful, bleeding, sloughing ulceration and loss of the interdental papillae (usually of the lower front teeth). Necrotizing periodontal diseases are non-contagious infections but may occasionally occur in epidemic-like patterns due to shared risk factors.
Geographic tongue is characterized by areas of atrophy and depapillation (loss of papillae), leaving an erythematous (darker red) and smoother surface than the unaffected areas. The depapillated areas are usually well-demarcated, [ 4 ] and bordered by a slightly raised, white, yellow or grey, serpiginous (snaking) peripheral zone. [ 9 ]
