Objective: To investigate the presence of oral findings and relationship between these findings and clinical features in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and to evaluate the oral and dental health of the patients. Methods: This study included 85 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 100 participants as a control group. Oral findings, presence of obesity, decayed, missing, filled, teeth (DMFT) values, and oral and dental health were evaluated in all participants. Results: The frequency of fissured tongue and geographic tongue was significantly higher in the patient group (p<0.001; p=0.049, respectively). Among patients diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris, fissured tongue was found more frequently in patients receiving systemic immunosuppressive treatment than in patients non-receiving immunosuppressive treatment (p=0.002). The mean of the DMFT was similar in patient and control group (p>0.05). When the patient group was evaluated according to clinical characteristics of the disease, the number of missing teeth was higher in patients with late-onset psoriasis than early-onset group, and in patients with obese than nonobese group, whereas the number of filled teeth was higher in patients with earlyonset psoriasis than late-onset group, and patients non-receiving immunosuppressive treatment than patients receiving immunosuppressive treatment (p=0.017; p=0.002; p=0.038; p=0.019, respectively). Conclusion: Regular examination and informing of psoriatic patients in terms of oral and dental health may be beneficial in maintaining dental health.
