Mucocutaneous Diseases

Michal Kuten-Shorrer et al. Dent Clin North Am. 2020 Jan.

Abstract

Mucocutaneous diseases affecting the oral cavity are predominantly immune mediated or inflammatory. Three of the most common and clinically significant conditions are reviewed in this article: lichen planus, pemphigus vulgaris, and mucous membrane pemphigoid. Because oral manifestations may be the first or only manifestation of mucocutaneous diseases, oral health professionals play a critical role in the early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of these conditions.

Keywords: Dermatoses; Lichen planus; Mucous membrane pemphigoid; Oral cavity; Oral mucocutaneous diseases; Pemphigus vulgaris.
