“…These authors suggest that these patients develop more oral manifestations than patients with a chronic disease. Other authors (19) have suggested that geographic tongue is a transient expression of psoriasis while fissured tongue is a late and permanent sign. In recent studies, Daneshpazhooh and collaborators (20) showed that fissured tongue was seen in 33% of patients with psoriasis and geographic tongue in 14%.…”

Clinical Aspects of the Oral Cavity in Patients with Psoriasis: An Initial Study and a Proposal of a New Evaluation Method

The involvement of the oral cavity is rare but possible in patients with psoriasis. Most frequently different clinical entities are reported such as geographic tongue, fissures, angular cheilitis and ectopic geographic tongue. This interdisciplinary study was conducted by dermatologists in collaboration with dental hygienists on 22 patients with psoriasis. We examined 11 men and 11 women aged between 25 and 72 years during a period of 6 months. The involvement of the oral cavity was examined and a full photographic evaluation was carried out. A new assessment evaluation named Oral Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (OPASI) is proposed herein. The results obtained show the presence of oral lesions in 45.6% of the cases. This high involvement could be explained by the interdisciplinary nature of the study. We believe OPASI can be useful to assess the severity of lesions of the oral cavity, and may help to evaluate the response to therapy in relation to the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) improvement.

“…In addition to cytokine secretion, epidermal keratinocytes could also direct the immune response by presenting antigen to infiltrating Tcells, as suggested by the increased expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR molecules by the keratinocytes during inflammation (Nickoloff and Turka, 1994). Interestingly, the reported cases of oral psoriasis with or without skin lesions (Ulmansky et al, 1995) suggest that oral keratinocytes, like their epidermal counterparts, may have the potential to participate in inflammatory responses.…”

Periodontal disease and inflammatory dermatoses, such as psoriasis, are characterized by the accumulation of dense inflammatory infiltrates immediately beneath the epithelial cell layer of the gingiva and skin, respectively. Dermatologists are increasingly aware that the epidermal keratinocyte probably contributes to inflammatory disease progression by secreting a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines and expressing various adhesion molecules. In psoriatic lesions, it is now believed that epidermal keratinocytes may also act as antigen-presenting cells and participate directly in the superantigenic activation of T-cell clones, some of which may initiate, contribute to, or maintain the disease process. Although the role of the host response in periodontal disease has been extensively studied over the years, very little is known about the contribution of the gingival keratinocyte to the inflammatory response. The available published information is discussed in this review, and we suggest that, like its epidermal counterpart, the gingival keratinocyte may participate actively in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease.

Aim: This study aimed to estimate the frequency of oral lesions in dermatological diseased patients attending the outpatient department of Pravara Rural Medical and Dental College and Hospital, Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences (Deemed University), Loni, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India, and the Department of Dermatology at Medical College, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted in Loni from October 2013 to January 2014. A total of 310 patients (mean age 37.2 ± 16 years, 61.2% males) completed an oral examination and a personal interview. Oral lesions were recorded. Biopsy and smear were used as adjuvant techniques for confirmation. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (version 15.0.1). Results:Of 310 cases (n = 310) observed for skin lesions, 99 cases were psoriasis (31.93%) and 68 cases were lichen planus (LP; 21.9%), followed by herpes zoster in 44 cases (14.1%), herpes simplex in 13 cases (4.1%), pemphigus vulgaris (PV) in 15 cases (4.8%), erythema multiforme (EM) in 8 cases (2.5%), bullous pemphigoid (BP) in 4 cases (1.2%), chicken pox in 3 cases (0.9%), eczema in 52 cases (16.7%), and nutritional deficiency and candidiasis in 2 cases (Table 1). Conclusion:The dermatologic diseases studied frequently occur in the oral cavity. Among them, psoriasis was the most common dermatological disease, and LP frequently showed. Clinical significance: This study also depicts that diagnosis and management of these oral lesions should also be carried out by oral clinicians so as to improve the oral health functioning during the course of the disease. The intraoral examination should be incorporated to the routine of dermatologic assistance as the oral manifestations can represent preliminary signs or can coexist with the diseases.
