doi:10.19982/j.issn.1000-6621.20240333

Abstract

Abstract:

Very few reports about gingival tuberculosis were reported, leading to high misdiagnosis rate and neglections of clinicians. We took “Gingival tuberculosis” as keyword,searched literature in CNKI,Wanfang,WHIP and PubMed database. A total of 35 related articles were identified,after removing duplicate reports, we finally included 14 papers with 14 gingival tuberculosis patients. Clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of those patients were analyzed to provide consolidated experience for clinicians.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Gingival, Case report
