Oral PathologyPyostomatitis vegetans is a rare inflammatory condition of the oral mucosa that is strongly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly ulcerative colitis. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small, yellow-white pustules on an erythematous base, which coalesce to form vegetative or papillary projections with a "snail track" appearance.

Oral Medicine
The rash in scarlet fever is characterized by small, raised, red bumps that feel like sandpaper when touched. These bumps, known as "Pastia lines," are particularly prominent in skin folds. The rash is caused by the exotoxins produced by Streptococcus pyogenes and typically occurs with a strep throat infection.

1. Polypropylene: This is a synthetic, non-absorbable suture material known
for its strength and resistance to infection. It is commonly used in oral
surgery and dental procedures due to its non-reactive nature with tissues.
2. Polyglycollic acid: Polyglycollic acid is an absorbable suture material that
is broken down by hydrolysis.
3. Vicryl: Vicryl is a synthetic, absorbable suture material that is commonly
used in dentistry due to its good handling properties and tissue reactivity
profile.
4. Collagen: Collagen is a natural, absorbable suture material derived from
animal sources. It is biocompatible but not as strong as non-absorbable
materials and is absorbed by the body over time.

Dental Materials
Electralloy is an alloy of electrolytic gold and calcium, typically with a calcium content of 0.1-0.5%. The addition of calcium creates a dispersion-hardened material that is stronger than pure gold. This property makes it suitable for use in restorations requiring increased hardness and wear resistance, such as inlays and onlays.

Conservative Dentistry100% of methyl mercury is absorbed from the gut. After absorption methyl mercury binds to hemoglobin, circulates systemically and is distributed to all organs, including the brain
