Dr. Roshini R.* and Dr. Sujathamma K.

ABSTRACT

Oral manifestations of systemic diseases serve as potential indicators for a diverse range of conditions. The oral cavity, truly a mirror reflecting the body's overall health, unveils disease-specific manifestations that should raise suspicion for attentive clinicians. Given that oral manifestations can accompany various systemic diseases, their accurate recognition is crucial for proper diagnosis, referral, and effective patient care. This article enumerates multiple entities involving different areas of the oral cavity, including the soft palate, hard palate, tongue, gingiva, oral mucosa, dentition, periodontium, and salivary gland tissue. While not exhaustive, the authors emphasize lesions or conditions directly linked to common systemic diseases, aiming to offer valuable insights for physicians, dentists, and clinicians in otolaryngologic practice.
