[Physiopathology of uveitis: the place of the dental examination].
The four main types of uveitis: anterior, posterior, intermediary and total, are related to principal major physiopathologic mechanisms: immunity disease with local production of antibodies; hypersensitivity disorder with persistence of sensitized cells in the eye. Etiologic agents of uveitis are far from being understood, continued knowledge of the mechanisms involved revealing their increasingly multifactorial nature. Detection of dental foci and their eradication are still necessary in 1985 for routine screening and treatment of uveitis.
