Objective:
The aim: To evaluate the recent scientific articles concerning peculiarities of this oral pathology. The goal is to carry out a literature review by evaluating all signs and clinical symptoms related to this disease, so as to provide the clinician with a useful tool for an early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: The collection of relevant data were done using the scientific databases Pubmed, Google Scholar. A manual search on Dentistry and Pharmacological sources was also conducted for relevant studies published. The selected key words: ("Herpes virus" OR "HSV") AND ("oral" OR "oral lesions") were used for collecting the data.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The article presents clinical peculiarities of herpetic stomatitis depending on disease severity and course. Primary herpetic stomatitis appears as spherical clustered vesicles on the gingival and adjacent mucosa. Soon after eruption of elements of lesion they rupture forming painful halo like aphtae / ulcers. Typical symptoms are: pain from ruptured vesicles, lymphadenitis, fever etc. Early diagnosis of disease is important and treatment with antiviral medicaments can modify the course of the disease by reducing symptoms and potentially reducing recurrences. Management of acute herpetic stomatitis include antiviral medicaments intake, maintenance of fluids and electrolytes level in a body. The treatment principles based on etiotropic, pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy are considered in manuscript.
