Background |
Cutaneous disorders can be associated with a wide variety of dental manifestations that should be familiar to dermatologists.
Objective |
We sought to describe the development of the teeth, explain current dental terms, and review the dental manifestations of some dermatologic conditions.
Methods |
A MEDLINE search (1966-May 2007) was performed to find relevant articles pertaining to dental manifestations of dermatologic conditions.
Results |
Dental manifestations are associated with a wide variety of skin diseases that include genetic, infectious, inflammatory, and immune disorders.
Limitations |
The review is broad and focuses on commonly described manifestations.
Conclusions |
An appreciation and understanding of dental signs can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of many skin conditions.
