An unusual case of alopecia areata of dental origin
1Faculté de Chirurgie Dentaire, Université Paris V, Montrouge, France.
Abstract:
The relationship between dental foci of infectious or mechanical nature and alopecia areata is analyzed through this case. There are many different causes for this dermatologic disease, and a dental origin seems to be very uncommon. Such a cause can only be confirmed a posteriori by a complete recovery of the patient after the dental cause is removed.
