Patient has a throbbing ache on tooth #30. Your clinical exam reveals a large, somewhat corrugated leukoplakic lesion along with a large carious lesion on tooth #30. Patient says the leukoplakic lesion is painful.
Does he have:
a. Nicotinic stomatitis
b. White sponge nevus
c. Aspirin burn
d. Squamous cell carcinoma
e. linea alba
(My inclination is either white sponge nevus or aspirin burn... but I am not sure.)

The answer is aspirin burn because for whatever reason, some patients think that placing an aspirin along the gum of a tooth that is hurting makes the pain go away. If it works at all it is because the patient now suffers from a chemical burn of the gum tissues that hurt more than the toothache. I always tell patients that do this if they have a headache, do they put an aspirin on their head or do they swallow it?
