Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are severe muco-cutaneous reactions seen in clinical practice, usually due to adverse reactions to certain drugs, such as sulfonamides, anticonvulsants, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. They are characterized by the eruption of blisters and epithelial sloughing, which can turn into a life-threatening situation. Acute and chronic complications of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are well documented in the literature, and it is recognized that survivors may develop oro-dental abnormalities as a long-term complication of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. To date and to our knowledge, there is no publication available emphasizing the importance of an integrated approach amongst dental specialties for the management of oro-dental complications of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. This review aims to provide an update on a wide range of oro-dental sequelae as a long-term complication following an acute episode of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, along with an emphasis on the need of an interdisciplinary collaboration of dental specialties for early diagnosis and management of such cases.
