Abstract

Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Syphilis has three clinical stages and may present various oral manifestations, mainly at the secondary stage. The disease mimics other more common oral mucosa lesions, going undiagnosed and with no proper treatment. Despite the advancements in medicine toward prevention, diagnosis, and treatment syphilis remains a public health problem worldwide. In this sense, dental surgeons should be able to identify the most common manifestations of the disease in the oral cavity, pointing to the role of this professional in prevention and diagnosis. This study describes a case series of seven patients with secondary syphilis presenting different oral manifestations.

摘要

梅毒是由梅毒螺旋体引起的一种传染病。梅毒有三个临床阶段，可能出现各种口腔表现，主要是在第二阶段。该疾病模仿其他更常见的口腔粘膜病变，没有诊断，没有适当的治疗。尽管医学在预防方面取得了进步，诊断,和治疗梅毒仍然是世界范围内的公共卫生问题。在这个意义上,牙科医生应该能够识别口腔疾病的最常见表现，指出该专业人员在预防和诊断中的作用。这项研究描述了一系列病例，其中7例具有不同口腔表现的二期梅毒患者。
