Immune-mediated conditions and cellular biomarkers for early diagnosis of oral diseases

Abstract

Oral signs and symptoms are frequently the first manifestation of immunological conditions. The dentists can therefore play an important role in the detection and during the management phase of the multidisciplinary treatment. Precise and early diagnosis increases the efficiency and efficacy of treatment strategy. This review provided an update of the immune system, the common immunological conditions that show oral clinical signs and symptoms, and guidance as to the appropriate investigation needed to differentiate and correctly diagnoses these conditions.
