Abstract
With the increasing number of cases of Measles and Monkeypox, the dentist has great importance in the early diagnosis, due to the characteristics and oral manifestations of the conditions, which can appear even before the systemic manifestations. The objective of this work is to identify the oral alterations resulting from Measles and Monkeypox, showing the characteristics of these oral lesions. This is an integrative literature review carried out under the parameters of the PRISMA strategy, with a search in the Pubmed, Scielo, Virtual Health Library (VHL), and EBSCO Host databases. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 articles were selected for characterization. Measles has a pathognomonic sign in the oral cavity, called Koplik's spot, appearing as numerous bluish-white macules, with sizes from 1 to 3 mm, surrounded by an erythematous halo. Monkeypox, on the other hand, presents itself as spherical bullous lesions with a reddish border, circumscribed and with deep roots, measuring from 2 to 5 mm in diameter. Measles and Monkeypox are considered reemerging diseases due to a significant increase in cases in recent years, which increases the chances of dentists (DCs) encountering the oral lesions of the disease. Therefore, it is extremely important to have knowledge on the subject so they can contribute to the early diagnosis and consequently to the regression of cases.
