Abstract

Mljet disease is palmo-plantar acroerythrokeratodermia which is autosomal-recessively inherited. An oral examination was made of eight patients with Mljet disease and 60 in habitants from the Island of Mljet with out the disease. The examination included the DMF index, parodontal status, oral mucosa and prosthetic sanation. The DMF index and parodontal status were simiIarin both groups. Patients with Mljet disease did not have one filling or prosthesis. The most common changes in the oral mucosa were angular stomatitis (7 patients), cheilitis exfoliativa (5 patients), macroglossia (4 patients), fissured tongue (3 patients), glossitis rhombodiea mediana (2 patients) and hypertrophy filiform papillae (2 patients). X-rays of the alveolar bone in patients with Mljet disease revealed only physiological involution.
