Abstract

Lead, a ubiquitous heavy metal which has realized increased use, can cause poisoning by environmental contamination in either its organic or its inorganic form. Lead poisoning can be either acute or chronic, with the latter being the more common. The clinical signs and symptoms of lead poisoning are nonspecific, resulting in a difficult diagnostic problem, especially when it is not industrially related. On occasions, the dentist or oral surgeon may be the first to see an afflicted patient because of oral manifestations.

摘要

铅是一种广泛存在且使用量不断增加的重金属，其有机或无机形式均可通过环境污染导致中毒。铅中毒可分为急性或慢性，后者更为常见。铅中毒的临床症状和体征不具有特异性，导致诊断困难，尤其是在与工业无关的情况下。有时，由于口腔表现，牙医或口腔外科医生可能是最早见到患病患者的人。
