Abstract | Chikungunya and dengue outbreaks currently affect thousands of individuals all over the world since the past decade. Both are arthropod-transmitted disease but dengue is the most prevalent mosquito-borne infection worldwide. These diseases are debilitating and if inadequately treated increases the chance of mortality. Recurrent epidemics of chikungunya and dengue, which are Aedes mosquito-borne viral diseases, represent a significant health problem in over a hundred tropical countries. With the re-emergence of the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENY) cases have also been reported in parts of Europe and other parts of the Asian subcontinent. This review focuses on the oral manifestations of these diseases with relevant data from the Indian perspective. The objective of this review is to educate dental practitioners on the oral manifestations of both CHIKV and DENY which may help in the early diagnosis and prompt management of these viral diseases. |
