Skin Diseases Associated with Dental Abnormalities
Various dermatological conditions are linked to irregularities or abnormalities in the structure and development of the teeth. An exhaustive list of these pathologies includes:
- Cutaneous erythropoietic congenital ichthyosis
- Congenital Syphilis
- Hypertrichosis congenital terminal
- Trichothiodystrophy ectodermal (often associated with dysplasia)
- Epidermolysis Bullosa
- Sjögren's Gardner's Syndrome
- Job Syndrome (characterized by Immunoglobulin E hypergammaglobulinemia)
- Hypomelanosis Ito's
- Incontinentia Pigmenti
- Leprosy
- Syndrome of deficiency of Labial leukocyte
- Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn Syndrome
- Sjögren's Gorlin Syndrome (nevoid basal cell carcinoma, which includes carcinoma of squamous cell)
- Keratoderma palmoplantar hereditary (Papillon-LeFèvre Syndrome)
- Pachyonychia congenital ichthyosis
- Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome
- Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome
- Sclerosis tuberous
- Histiocytosis of basal Langerhans cell
Additionally, dental health can be compromised by environmental and nutritional factors. Scurvy (caused by Vitamin C deficiency), acrodynia (mercury poisoning), and the ingestion of tetracycline during early childhood or infancy are known causes of significant damage to dental structure.
