Exploring the Intersection of Dentistry and Dermatology: Oral Manifestations in Dermatological Conditions and Implications for Diagnosis and Treatment

Abstract

Dermatological conditions frequently present with oral symptoms, making the collaboration between dermatology and dentistry crucial. Oral manifestations are often an early sign of systemic dermatological conditions, necessitating the involvement of dentists in both diagnosis and management. This article explores the intersection of dermatology and dentistry, focusing on recent advancements in the treatment of oral lesions associated with dermatological diseases, including dermatitis and autoimmune conditions. A variety of dermatological diseases, such as lichen planus, pemphigus vulgaris, and systemic lupus erythematosus, present oral manifestations. These conditions can significantly impact a patient’s oral health and overall quality of life, often requiring a combined dermatological and dental approach to care.
