Viral infections of oral cavity

Arvind Babu Rajendra Santosh et al. J Family Med Prim Care. 2020.

Abstract

Viral infections of the oral cavity usually manifest as either ulceration or blistering presentation of oral tissues. Oral viral infections are encountered in dental practice but received less clinical interest due to the lesser frequency of patients and diagnostic challenges. The clinical presentation, pathogenic mechanism, investigations, and management of oral viral infections are integrated into the article which will enable general dentists to develop critical thinking processes on differential diagnosis and management through a multidisciplinary approach with specialist dentists.

Keywords: Acyclovir; blister; herpes; oral cavity; zoster.
