- The objective of the systematic literature review was to examine the oral manifestations of Huntington's disease (HD) through an analysis of existing research studies and case reports.
- A total of 22 studies, including both original research and case reports, were reviewed, focusing on aspects like dental health, oral structure coordination, speech, and swallowing issues related to HD.
- The findings indicated that as Huntington's disease progresses, oral health deteriorates, leading to symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, speech problems, impaired dental health, and abnormal movements of the mouth and tongue.
