TRAUMATIC ORAL MUCOSAL LESIONS IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in many countries. Given the multifactorial etiology of CVDs, the close conjugation of risk factors (FRs) with each other and their mutually reinforcing effects, their impact on health is considered in combination rather than individually. Constant nibbling of cheeks and lips may be a bad habit caused by stress. Sometimes this repetitive behavior can be one of the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, problems with the bite often arise due to diseases of the temporomandibular joint and bite pathologies. Also, a person can traumatize the mucosa with a filling or sharp edge of the tooth, if it is located outside the dental arch or its wells are excessively sharp due to individual anatomical features. There are cases of asymptomatic disease. With a strong, aggressive bite, complaints of pain, burning in the mucous membrane and sometimes swelling appear. Since the mucous membrane is constantly provided with mechanical irritation, the production of more keratin in the epithelium is stimulated.
