Sažetak
Dental disease has long been proposed as a potential causative agent in certain dermatological diseases. However, literature data on this association are scarce. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate dental status in 92 patients with various dermatological diseases who were referred to our Department for elimination of dental disease and to assess the relationship between dental infection and dermatological diseases. Dermatological conditions due to which patients were referred were alopecia, urticaria, eczematoid dermatitis, psoriasis, edema, etc. Out of 92 patients, 42 (45.7%) patients were referred for further dental treatment, while the remaining 50 (54.3%) patients had no observable dental pathology. None of the patients reported improvement following dental treatment. Based on the results of this study, we might conclude that dental infection does not play any role in the development of dermatological disease.
