“…Another interesting fact, observed by the same authors, was lower incidence of geographic tongue in patients who smoked. Zagari (22) confirmed this fact, suggesting the protective effect of tobacco on the onset of psoriatic oral lesions. Dawson (23) suggested the possibility of a genetic link between psoriasis and geographic and fissured tongue, and other studies suggested (24) that both conditions depend on a polygenic hereditary transmission and that they share some common genes.…”

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 a study, Geographic tongue was seen in 7.2% of patients with early onset psoriasis and only in 1.3% of patients with late-onset psoriasis, suggesting this condition as an indicator for severity of psoriasis [12]. In other study, there were no significant differences [7].…”

Abstract-Geographic tongue is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder resulting in the local loss of filiform papillae, which is present as erythematous patches with serpiginous borders resembling a map. The etiopathogenesis of geographic tongue is unknown. Geographic tongue has been postulated to be an oral variant of psoriasis as this lesion show several histologic features of psoriasis. Two cases of asymptomatic geographic tongue in psoriasis patients are presented here. Geographic tongue has been postulated as oral variant of psoriasis since the prevalent of this condition is increase in psoriatic patient; they have same several histologic features, and also have the same human leukocyte antigen (HLA) group. The prevalence of geographic tongue is increased in psoriastic patients. The conclusion of this case reports was geographic tongue seems to have relationship with psoriasis since they have similar histologic and HLA group.

“…Various aetiological factors which have been suggested in the literature include allergy [2], emotional stress [3,4], and systemic conditions like diabetes and psoriasis [5,6]. Whilst none of the proposed aetiological factors provide a definitive evidence of a causal relationship, few authors suggested a possible significant role of psychosomatic and genetic factors in the pathogenesis of GT, owing to its increased occurrence during periods of emotional stress; and also higher prevalences in parent and sibling combinations than in general population [3].…”

The prevalence and significance of fissured tongue and geographical tongue in psoriatic patients

Abstract: It appears that geographical tongue, but not fissured tongue, is more common in early onset psoriasis and may be an indicator of disease severity.
