Dental tissues (such as dentin, pulp, cementum, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament)
Oral hairy leukoplakia is most often seen in patients with a CD4+ count of less than
500
biopsy is a technique to screen the oral cavity
brush
Pemphigus vulgaris
Immune-mediated mucocutaneous
disease that causes desmosome
