Clinical examination data of patients with desquamative glossitis combined with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract

Relevance: In the practice of a dentist, patients with desquamative glossitis are quite common. Moreover, there is a relatively high incidence of the oral mucosa and red border of the lip's diseases, combined with diffuse connective tissue lesions, in particular with rheumatoid arthritis [3 p. 12; 4 p. 3]. However, insufficient attention is paid to their diagnosis and selection of adequate therapy and prevention, which is associated with a variety of clinical manifestations of combined systemic lesions.
