Descripción
Sumario:Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by Treponema Pallidum, usually by vertical transmission, known as congenital syphilis, or even sexual, called acquired syphilis. In addition, contamination can occur indirectly, through the use of contaminated objects, such as tattoo needles or blood transfusions. It is considered a public health problem due to its high degree of incidence, mostly in low-income countries. The record of cases of the disease has increased in the last twenty years. Given the above, this article aims to review the literature on the oral manifestations of syphilis. SciVerse Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), US National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) and ScienceDirect, with assistance from Mendeley. The articles were collected from May to August 2021 and covered between 2015 and 2021. From the review of the literature narrative, it was observed that oral manifestations resulting from syphilis can occur in different ways, depending on the its stage of infection and disease evolution. The role of the dental surgeon becomes important for the diagnosis of infected patients, for the successful treatment of oral lesions, improving their prognosis and quality of life.
