Sprue…! The words we often hear on various supplements drug ads on television milling heat. Thrush, oral cavity disorders, is sometimes taken lightly by the sufferer. Whether taken any action in the hope of missing the disease itself or to consume lots of sauce that is believed to cure canker sores. Although this disease often occurs in people, it turns out no one knows what causes canker sores.
As stated Dr. drg. Harmas Yazid Yusuf, SpBM of Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS), Bandung, thrush is a common language for a variety of lesions / bumps that arise in the oral cavity. Usually the type of canker sores that often occur daily in the oral cavity called Aftosa Recurrent Stomatitis (SAR).
Symptoms include pain or burning one to two days later could arise wound (ulcer) in the oral cavity. Pain and burning sensation in the mouth ulcer is to make us difficult to eat and drink. So sometimes patients with SAR coming to the dentist in a state of weakness.
“It’s often affect anyone. Not knowing the age or sex. Usually the areas most often arise SAR is in the mucosal inner cheek, inner lip, tongue and on the ceiling,” said drg. Harmas in a conversation with reporters on the sidelines of IX National Congress of Indonesian Association of Oral Surgeons, held in Bandung, recently.
Asked the main causes of canker sores occur, drg. Harmas said that, until now the main cause of canker sores is unknown. But experts predict many things that cause the occurrence of this sprue, among others, the deficiency (deficiency) of vitamin B12 and iron. Besides the possibility of viral and bacterial infections as the originator of the occurrence of this sprue. “Some are saying that the sprue is an abnormal immunologic reaction in the oral cavity,” he said.
Many opinions expressed emergence of thrush because of a lack of vitamin C. But these opinions are not entirely correct. That does not mean you are deficient in vitamin C when exposed to canker sores. There are other factors that play a role that is more stress.
“Now that quite often happens to us, especially busy in the city is experiencing stress. Many studies showed that psychological factors caused by stress is the biggest factor thrush,” he said.
Efforts that can be done to avoid thrush is to maintain the cleanliness of the oral cavity and consume adequate nutrition, particularly those containing vitamin B12 and iron. Besides do not forget to avoid stress. But if it is thrush always intermittent, you can try to gargle warm salt-water gargle and go to the dentist to ask the right medicine for mouth ulcer.
Oral cavity cancer
Although canker sores seem trivial, drg. Harmas calls attention if mouth ulcer sufferers who had suffered prolonged. Because it could be early signs of oral cancer. Similarly, disorders of the mouth, such as a tooth infection that causes tooth rocking. If the cause tooth was rocking oral cancer, tooth extraction could be disastrous because facilitate the spread of cancer to other vital organs.
Drg. Harmas call, oral cavity cancer have symptoms that is, the sprue prolonged for more than two weeks, and lymph nodes in neck pain and mild swelling. “In addition there is also the lumps are quite large in the oral cavity region,” said drg. Harmas told reporters on the sidelines.
Harmas explains, oral cavity cancer is classified as dangerous and difficult to cure because most new cases detected in a state of information. To that end, he advocated the dentist be aware of early symptoms of oral cancer is a prolonged form of canker sores and tooth infections.
Oral cavity cancer is cancer in the oral cavity and pharynx. Pharynx is a channel located between the nasal cavity and oral cavity and esophagus, including cancer of the lips, tongue, salivary glands, gums, floor of the mouth, and other parts of the buccal mucosa.
If found in an advanced stage, oral cancer usually can not be raised again because it is spread far. The spread covers the head, neck lymph nodes, lungs, until the lever.
Vitamin C
One thing to note dalah how to be wise when taking vitamin C. Because vitamin C is too large a dose could interfere with the absorption and use of vitamin B-12 by the body. He also lowered certain drugs work, and can cause kidney stones and diarrhea.
High consumption of vitamin C in the short term also can make us even like lack of vitamin C. Pregnant women who consume 400 milligrams of vitamin C per day during pregnancy, will give birth to babies who sprue. The amount of vitamin C in the blood will also be lower than normal if the person who used to eat vitamin C naturally.
Vitamin C can not be stored in the body. So it should be consumed every day. But due to high awareness of the need for vitamin C, many of those around us eat excessively.
Being wise to the vitamin C, as well as mengakrabinya as it is. Because the intake is very important for the body. Especially for those who often suffer from thrush, Scurvy, swollen gums or mouth sores which if observed correctly, not a trivial disease. Can cause stiffness in the joints of bones, bleeding under the skin and tissues deeply, slow healing wounds, until anemia. While canker sores can occur in all age groups, even in infants aged 6-24 months.
Vitamin C is important as forming collagen, a protein that functions as a “cement” glue between tissues of the body. Collagen is formed from prokolagen, which contain amino acids and hidroksilisin hidroksiprolin. Two amino acids were changed from proline and lysine, having previously prokolagen formed.
The process of change in proline and lysine in this prokolagen by prolil hydroxylase enzymes, which require the presence of ferrous iron ions. In fact, the material is unstable and easily oxidized. So the task of vitamin C is to keep the ferrous iron ion is not oxidized.
Lack of vitamin C resulted in the hydroxylation process prokolagen reduced. So that the collagen fibers that form becomes more fragile. As a result, such as soft tissue in the oral cavity, connective tissue between the flesh and teeth, flesh and bones, easily torn, so arises the sprue.
The walls of capillary blood vessels in the network have also broken, causing bleeding, such as the gums. Bleeding gums, and its network is weak and soft. Dentine, which lies beneath a layer of tooth enamel and become part of the tooth, broken. Chewers tool that is unstable and the process of destruction of food becomes difficult. Joints were sore. Thus vitamin C deficiency in infants can lead to disruption of the formation of bone tissue.
Bleeding in the skin will cause effects that are more severe, such as the emergence of blue-black spots appear on the skin, the appearance of red spots all around the place of hair growth, such as hands, buttocks, arms, and back.
The cells of the hair grower does not receive nutrients from the blood, so the hair grows coarse and stiff. If bleeding occurs in heart or brain tissue, patients can die suddenly sprue. This could happen if someone deficiency of vitamin C for 5 months! So no need to overdo the vitamin C, rather than a healthy would actually hurt.
