Abstract

In the practice of dentistry, it is always possible to diagnose various specific diseases with oral manifestations. These include infectious, systemic, immunologic, and oncologic diseases. Among infectious diseases, tuberculosis is the most common. In practice, the dentist may encounter tuberculosis lesions of rare localizations - skull and maxillofacial bones, oral cavity, tongue root and tonsils, as well as a dental cusp.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria (MBT) can remain latent in the body for a long time and manifest themselves at any age in the presence of debilitating factors with lesions of various organs and systems.
