Abstract

Teeth, gum, and palate may be affected by different congenital and acquired infections caused by Treponema spp. These are somewhat rarely found now but still very important to know for diagnostic as well as epidemiological purposes. Some of these pathogens are generally transmitted and some by close skin to sin contact. Orofacial involvement may be found in various stages of these infections. In this review, the authors have tried to compile available scientific information about these infections affecting the orofacial region
