title: General medicine and surgery for dental practitioners. Part 3 - skin disorders part A.
abstract: Skin disorders are potentially important to dentists in diverse ways. The skin disease itself might have oral manifestations, and drugs used to treat skin disorders may impact on dental management. This first paper considering skin disorders examines points to look out for in the history and considers specific groups of conditions. Further conditions will be discussed in part B.
