HISTOPATHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ORAL FOCAL DISEASE WITH INVOLVEMENT IN ANTERIOR UVEITIS PATHOLOGY
Abstract:
Even since 1900, the term “focal infection” has been associated with some diverse
pathological manifestations involving the entire body or some organs, originating in a chronic infection.
Since the last century, it was shown that approximately 93% of active focal diseases are localized at
teeth level. Their anatomical conformation creates excellent conditions for chronic infections caused by
the fact that both, the enamel and the dentin do not have defence mechanisms, thus being impossible to
obtain tissue or humoral defence elements.
