Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic, genetically seen, scales, and inflammatory disease of the skin. Oral manifestations
of psoriasis are rare and are often difficult to diagnose. Elbows, knees, sacral portion, and scalp are
usually infected. Nail association is commonly more occurring. oral inclusion is uncommon. A few doctors
question whether psoriasis influences the oral mucosa, especially because early reports of oral psoriatic
lesions needed histologic affirmation. In this review article, we will show what are various parts of the oral
cavity affected by psoriasis.

Keywords: Psoriasis, Koebner phenomenon, Fissured tounge, Geographic tounge.
