Facial and oral manifestations in leprosy. An evaluation of seventy cases.
A clinical and radiologic study of early and late manifestations in tuberculoid, dimorphous, and lepromatous leprosy was undertaken in order to determine characteristics, occurrence, and incidence of facial and oral lesions. Dermal, mucosal, neural, skeletal, and dental changes were correlated with the duration of leprosy, duration of treatment, and age of the patient.
