Abstract :
Desquamative gingivitis refers to an erythematous, ulcerated, or atrophic appearance of the gingiva. This clinical appearance is common to a number of pathologies, most frequently accounting for mucocutaneous autoimmune entities (Oral lichen planus and Mucous membrane pemphigoid). The oral physician must be well versed with its varied clinical presentations, and a prompt diagnosis is essential for early remission from this debilitating state.
