La maladie de Rendu-Osler : manifestations bucco-faciales et attitude thérapeutique en odontologie

Abstract

SUMMARY The Rendu-Osler disease is a rare vascular hereditary affection. This article permits the identification of its orofacial manifestations which, when associated to other clinical signs, are characteristic enough to permit the odontologist to make the diagnosis. The orodental management of patients suffering from this disease requires particular precautions because of the existence of two major risks : a hemorrhagic and an infectious one.
