Parkinson´s disease is one of a group of relatively common, progressive, neurological disorder extrapyramidal diseases characterized by rigidity and tremor. Dental management of individuals with Parkinson´s is a multifaceted challenge involving areas of preventive, restorative, and prosthetic dentistry. To provide competent care to patients dentists must understand the pathophysiology, complications, and oral manifestations of the disease, to establish the treatment plan. The successful management of the disease requires a multi-disciplinary approach. This article describes the pathophysiology of Parkinson´s disease, oral manifestations and dental management recommendations.
