Psoriasis is one of the most frequent skin diseases. The cause of psoriasis is not fully expained as there are many factors (infectious, traumatic, hormonal, and chemical) that may play a role in the manifestation of its symptoms. One of the factors that may contribute to the appearance of psoriatic lesions may be the lesions in the oral cavity. The occurrence of lesions in the oral cavity is defined as rare, what can be explained by their nonspecific clinical image, and also by the possibility of being overlooked. Most characteristic symptoms of psoriasis occurring in the oral cavity are the geographic tongue and fissured tongue. It is also believed that there is a correlation between psoriasis and oral health‐ the periodontal and teeth condition as well as changes in saliva secretion. The psoriasis arthritis changes can also affect temporomandibular joint and impair the function of stomatognathic system. Because of these reports, cooperation of dermatologists and dentists in psoriasis care seems to be necessary.
The most common cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism is a chronic kidney disease. The imbalance between calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 in the course of secondary hyperparathyroidism may affect an oral health. The changes are presented in jaw bones as a loss of bone density, focuses of demineralization or even large tumors deforming facial region – brown tumors, ossifying fibromas and aneurismal bone cysts. There is also a higher frequency of dental caries, periodontal disease and fungal infections. Secondary hyperparathyroidism in the young age may cause teeth development disorders and dental abnormalities. Dental treatment in patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism can be a challenge for a dentist, so the strict cooperation with an attending physician is needed, as well as to introduce dental prophylactic procedures as soon as possible. In addition, due to the occurrence of characteristic changes in the oral cavity, the dentist may play an important role in the primary detection of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
