Relations pathologiques œil-dent : point de vue du stomatologiste et de l'odontologiste

Pathological relations between the eye and the tooth are known for a long time, although they are extremely rare. There are many ocular demonstrations of dental origin (uveitis, cellulitis, conjunctivitis, accommodation disturbances, watering…). Long-term ophthalmic sequelae of a dental pathology can be extremely serious : permanent reduction of vision, diplopia or even blindness… Consequences of oro-facial infection affecting orbit and central nervous system can be hemiparalysy, even death. Stomatologists, dental surgeons and ophthalmologists should associate their competences for the diagnosis establishment, and the implementation of a local and/or general treatment.
