Pathologies and Their Consequences on the Balance of Oral Health

Objective: To address pathologies that affect oral health, discuss them, and point out the negative effects these conditions trigger on the oral structure, showing how the disease manifests itself in the mouth and what symptoms the patient presents. Methodology: Since this is a narrative literature review, it was necessary to acquire a range of articles, books, monographs, and other research that could provide maximum information on the subject. Thus, searches were carried out in the following databases and websites: DeCs, PUBMED Central, Scielo, PROSPERO, Science Direct, Web of Science, The Brazilian Journal of Health Review, BVS/BIREME, CAPES Periodicals Portal, The Cochrane Library, Research, Society and Development, Redalyc.org, ResearchGate in conjunction with Google Academy. In addition, in order to obtain the maximum amount of rich content to compose the article, searches were strategically designed using the following descriptors: Mucocele; Ranula; Herpetic Stomatitis; Oral Candidiasis; Chickenpox. Results: A total of 49 studies were used to compose this study. Conclusion: The conclusion reached was that the pathologies addressed have a great impact not only on oral health, but also in a systematic way, and it is extremely important that society stops dissociating oral health from the rest of the body, since it is something that complements each other and if it is not treated in such a way, more and more people may end up acquiring these pathologies. It was also seen that these conditions cause several harms to the oral structure, causing an extremely negative impact.
