Abstract:
Gaucher's disease is a disturbance of lipid storage that results in the accumulation of histiocytes filled with glucosyl ceramide in various organs and bones. Clinical features include history of epistaxis, hemoptysis, and spontaneous gingival hemorrhage. This article reviews Gaucher's disease with reference to its importance to dental practitioners and a case involving mandibular trauma is presented.
