Abstract
The treatment of desquamative gingival lesions is dependent on the correct diagnosis of the underlying disease, which is frequently dermatologic. This is determined by clinical observations, as well as by histologic and immunologic examination of gingival biopsy specimens. The recommended treatment of desquamative lesions caused by lichen planus, cicatricial pemphigoid (benign mucous membrane pemphigoid), pemphigus, and psoriasis, the most common dermatoses causing gingival lesions, is summarized on the basis of 62 cases and reports in the literature.
