title: Paget's disease.
abstract: The dentist may recognize Paget's disease before either systemic manifestations on complications occur. Suspicion may arise through routine oral and radiographic examination as pathologic conditions usually occur first in the jaws and skull. As with any disease, early recognition is helpful in treatment and may necessitate alterations in the proposed dental treatment.
