Description
Dermatological bullous diseases have visible signs in the oral cavity. The study is aimed at early detection of oral lesions, to link them to the presence or not of apparent skin disorders affecting the quality of the patient's lifestyle. Patient awareness of coexistence between dermatological concerns and the presence of oral lesions should be the starting point of every dentist during the intraoral examination, after drying of the mucous membranes and gingiva.The study includes patients randomly presented: patients at the University Clinic AU and patients in the Dermatology Department, QSUT, during the period between November 2017 and January 2018. Patients were evaluated according to the Dermatological Life Quality Index (ICJD) and the presence of oral lesions in the oral cavity. Oral lesions reported in the patients appear to be more commonly occurring in female patients than in male patients over 40 years of age. Oral buccal mucosa areas are more affected than gingival area, palatum and tongue areas. Detection of disorders during oral routine examination is the beginning to follow the evolution of these dermatological bullous diseases, as the further prognosis also depends on the moment of detection and awareness of the initial existence of the disease.
