Abstract
Lesions involving eye are evidently seen in oral and maxillofacial pathology or head and neck pathology. Due to the oral and maxillofacial pathology, sometimes eyes may get infected because of the side effects of the medication taken to cure oral and maxillofacial diseases and hence the dental professionals along with the ophthalmologists can treat the disease which affects the eyes along with the oral and maxillofacial diseases by the keen observation, early detection and early treatment. The current systematic review focuses on intersection of oral and maxillofacial pathology (OMFP) and ophthalmology. A detailed literature search was done pertaining to OMFP patients and their association with eye involvement. Inclusion criteria include various studies done on the above based topics. Grand total of 200 cases were identified from 35 papers published in English language literature. Of these 35, 25 were filtered narrowing down to 16 fully downloaded studies pertaining to the topic. Perspective from an ophthalmologist should be done in an exceptional way in patients with OMFP in order to achieve long‐term success. Oral and maxillofacial, pathology, ophthalmology, eye disorders, vision.
