Abstract:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. MS makes it difficult for the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate effectively with one another. The symptoms of MS are of a wide range, and may resemble symptoms of many other disorders, and other dental problems that need especial care. In addition to poor muscle control, a patient with MS experiences a disability to perform oral hygiene measures. The treatment for multiple sclerosis includes taking medications to slow the progression of the disease, which may have a side effect on the oro-facial structures. Management of such dental and oral patient needs a team work and appropriate care to delay disease progression and maintain an optimal quality of life as long as possible.
