Abstract

Jezik je mišićni organ koji s gornje strane prekriva visokospecijalizirana, a s donje strane oblažuća sluznica. Na sluznici jezika mogu se javiti fiziološke ili patološke promjene. Fiziološke promjene su: geografski jezik, fisurirani jezik i jezični varikoziteti. Patološke promjene su: obloženi jezik, atrofija jezika, impresije zuba na jeziku, oralni lihen i lihenoidna reakcija, leukoplakija, fibromi, bradavice i papilomi, medijalni rombični glositis, ulkusi jezika te oralni karcinom. Važno je razlikovati zdravo od bolesnog tkiva kako bi se mogla postaviti točna dijagnoza i ordinirati učinkovita terapija. Fiziološke promjene uglavnom ne zahtijevaju terapiju, dok neke patološke promjene zbog moguće zloćudne transformacije zahtijevaju praćenje i/ili neodgodivu terapiju. Doktor dentalne medicine ima ključnu ulogu u otkrivanju bolesti usne šupljine i jezika. Danas se sve veća važnost pridaje ranoj dijagnostici, prevenciji i informiranju pacijenata, bilo da se radi o fiziološkim, bilo o patološkim promjenama. Svaki posjet stomatološkoj ambulanti započinje pregledom cijele usne šupljine i jezika. Pregled je izuzetno kratak, bezbolan, jednostavan i jeftin, a postavljanje dijagnoze zloćudnih promjena u ranoj fazi može spasiti život pacijentu.

Abstract (english)

The tongue is a muscular organ, covered with a highly specialized mucosa on the upper side and a coating mucosa on the lower side. Physiological or pathological changes may occur on the mucosa of the tongue. Physiological changes include: geographic tongue, fissured tongue and lingual varicosities. Pathological changes include: coated tongue, tongue atrophy, teeth impressions on the tongue, oral lichen planus and lichenoid reaction, leukoplakia, fibromas, warts and papillomas, medial rhomboid glossitis, tongue ulcers, and oral cancer. It is important to distinguish between healthy and sick tissue so that an accurate diagnosis can be established and effective therapy administered. Physiological changes generally do not require therapy, whereas some pathological changes require monitoring and / or immediate therapy because of possible malignant transformations. A doctor of dental medicine plays a key role in the detection of oral and tongue diseases. Today, increasing importance is attached to early diagnosis, prevention and informing patients, in dealing with both physiological and pathological changes. Each visit to the dental clinic begins with an examination of the entire oral cavity and tongue. The examination is extremely short, painless, simple and inexpensive, and diagnosing malignancies in the early stages can save a patient's life.
