Dentistry and Lyme Disease: what we currently know based on the available evidence
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lyme disease (LD) is a serious and debilitating disease that has spread rapidly in the world. Signs and symptoms of LD can present in the orofacial region, which will prompt patients to see a dentist. This article reviews the manifestations of LD in the orofacial region and the role of dentists in potential multidisciplinary effort in the diagnosis of LD, as well as management of patients with LD that require dental treatment.
