Resumo

Introduction: Dermatologic diseases are not only represented by lesions affecting the skin but also by manifestations that may involve the mucous membranes, including oral mucosa. Objectives: To assess the frequency of oral manifestations associated with dermatologic diseases considering the location and clinical characteristics of the lesions found and also gender and age of the patients. Materials and Methods: It was an observational, cross-sectional study of patients who sought for treatment in the Dermatology Department of M. M. College of Medical Sciences & Research, Haryana (n=88). Results: The age of the patients varied from 5 to 88 and there was predominance of female patients. Of the cases studied, 35% were diagnosed as lichen planus, 11% as lupus erythematosus, 13% as erythema multiforme, 30% as pemphigus vulgaris and 11% as of pemphigoid group. Oral manifestations were more common among patients suffering from lichen planus (51%) and pemphigus vulgaris (23%). The most common clinical presentation found was reticular lichen planus located most predominantly in the buccal mucosa. Conclusions: It is essential for the dentists to know these pathologies so that they should be able to diagnose them at an early stage of the disease and direct the patients to get adequate treatment. Furthermore, intra-oral examination should be included as a routine practice in dermatological services.
