Nutritional Imbalances and their Oral Manifestations: A Review

Systemic sickness frequently manifests itself in the oral cavity, which serves as the body's window. The presentation of disease states involves the involvement of multiple tissues, such as the tongue, lips, gingiva, mucosal surfaces, teeth, and bone.
