Insight on Prevalent Viral Infectious Diseases and Their Orofacial Presentation | Chapter 7 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 6

 

In the past 2 years, we have seen the severe effects of viral diseases such as Covid-19, especially causing death. HIV AIDS, dengue, chikungunya, monkeypox, herpes, and blood-borne viral diseases have also come in recent news. There are many diseases that affect individuals. Of these most contagious and most easily communicable are viral infections. They start with cold, cough, sneezing, and influenza conditions. If proper precautions are not taken they are spread from person to person. These viral diseases have dental/oral lesions. If dentists are aware of these, they can definitely early diagnose and treat them. In this study, the oral presentation in prevalent viral diseases like HIV AIDS, herpes, covid, chikungunya, and dengue fever was discussed. It is essential that viral diseases and their oral lesions are examined so that necessary steps can be taken. Dental caries, periodontitis, Perimplantitis, and apical periodontitis are the most common dental diseases which are seen in patients. In the last 2 years, some viral infections have come up that need correct treatment planning for great success.
