Abstract
Mucocutaneous diseases affect the oral cavity and can present a diagnostic challenge. They can have systemic involvement, necessitating multidisciplinary management. Frequently, patients will see their general dentists initially for evaluation. A better understanding of mucocutaneous diseases can prevent delay in appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Oral lichen planus, mucous membrane pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris are three mucocutaneous diseases that affect the oral mucosa. This review describes the clinical features, epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis and management for each condition.
