Abstract:

Classification of diseases is crucial to the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases. Over the past 30 years，every new revision of the disease classification has had a major impact on improving the level of treatment. Compared with the classification of clinical medicine，disease classification and other disciplines of stomatology，the classification of oral mucosal diseases is still at a low level. With the rapid development of stomatology，particularly of precision medicine，the existing classifications of cheilitis is no longer sufficient for clinical practice. We propose that the terminology of "chronic non-specific cheilitis （chronic cheilitis）" be abolished and a new cheilitis classification and typing system be established，following international principle of disease classification. For the cases where pathogen is clear，etiology should be applied in classification；for cases with unspecified etiology，pathology or pathogens should be applied. Should none of etiology，pathology or pathogens could be specified，clinical phenotype should be applied in classifications.

Key words: cheilitis, classification, typing, diagnosis

摘要：

疾病分类对疾病诊疗效果至关重要。疾病分类每进行一次新的修订，都会对提高治疗水平产生极大的影响。30年来，相对于临床医学疾病分类和口腔医学其他学科的疾病分类，口腔黏膜病的疾病分类还处于停滞状态。随着口腔医学的快速发展，特别是精准医学的发展，现有的唇炎分类已经不适合临床口腔黏膜病学的诊疗需要。建议取消“慢性非特异性唇炎（慢性唇炎）”这一分类诊断名词，提议按照国际疾病分类原则，建立新的唇炎分类、分型体系。病因明确的按照病因学分类，病因不明确的按照病理学分类或按照发病机制分类。病因、病理、发病机制均不明确的按照临床表型分类。
