Skin Lesions with An Odontogenic Origin
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Dermatological disorders have an alarming incidence of 60% in the Indian scenario. These disorders can range from mild dermatitis, acne to the most severe form of unresolving urticaria, pruritis etc. Clinicians have come a long way in terms of advancements in the diagnosis and management of these lesions. However, infection including dental infection, as a common source of aetiology for such dermatological disorders is often neglected. Common sources of infection from the orofacial region include periodontitis, partially impacted teeth, periapical lesions, and so on. The probable mechanism supporting this mysterious correlation is of hematogenous spread of infection/bacteria and Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated histamine release thereby, triggering and causing dermatological lesions. Here, we report 2 such cases of chronic urticaria which resolved on dental therapy
