Abstract
Diseases and disorders presenting elsewhere in the body have long been known to produce signs and symptoms in the orofacial region. Skin and gastrointestinal disorders are the most common because of the unique interface of the mouth between the two systems. Mucosal inflammatory disease may also reflect infection and deficiency, and most major organ system impairments can present with signs and symptoms in the orofacial tissues. Systemic connective tissue disease may well present in the mouth and jaws. Appropriate blood and tissue sampling and analysis can help diagnose and manage disease.
