چکیده
Possible dental etiology is often overlooked in the patients with cutaneous odontogenic lesion. An accurate diagnosis requires interaction between physicians (especially dermatologists), surgeons, and dentists. Early recognition of the lesion facilitates prompt treatment, minimizes patient discomfort and esthetic problems, and reduces the possibility of further complications greatly. This article presents three case reports of cutaneous odontogenic lesion highlighting the importance of communication between medical and dental practitioners to avoid misdiagnosis.
