Oral manifestations of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases

Acta Dermatovenerol Alp Pannonica Adriat. 2018 Mar;27(1):9-16.

Abstract

Autoimmune diseases may also be reflected in changes in the oral cavity that represent the first sign of the disease, or they may occur simultaneously with or later in the course of the disease. Oral findings are mostly non-specific, and therefore further investigations are needed to exclude or confirm possible diagnoses. This article presents the most important diseases in this research area, divides them into meaningful groups, and highlights the importance of examining the oral cavity for possible manifestations.
