Background: Cutaneous disorders can be associated with a wide variety of dental manifestations that should be familiar to dermatologists.

Objective: We sought to describe the development of the teeth, explain current dental terms, and review the dental manifestations of some dermatologic conditions.

Methods: A MEDLINE search (1966-May 2007) was performed to find relevant articles pertaining to dental manifestations of dermatologic conditions.

Results: Dental manifestations are associated with a wide variety of skin diseases that include genetic, infectious, inflammatory, and immune disorders.

Limitations: The review is broad and focuses on commonly described manifestations.

Conclusions: An appreciation and understanding of dental signs can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of many skin conditions.

BACKGROUND Cowden syndrome is a genetic disorder that predisposes individuals to cancer and is characterized by hamartomas derived from 3 germ layers. Although the clinical signs can be pathognomonic, diagnosis is often aided by biopsies, histopathological examination of oral and cutaneous lesions, and genetic studies, including multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). CASE REPORT We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who manifested with multiple lesions in the buccal mucosa, dorsum of the tongue, and gums, along with papillomatous papules on her facial skin and the dorsal surfaces of her hands.
