Syphilis is a sexually transmissible disease caused by treponema palladium, a microaerophilic spirochete. Syphilis may progress from primary to tertiary stage if left unnoticed and untreated. Dentists should be vigilant and suspect sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis in the differential diagnosis of oral inflammatory or ulcerative lesions with palatal perforation. Moreover, it is imperative that dentists should have knowledge about its stages, characteristic features, oral presentation and prosthetic rehabilitation. This case report describes a case of tertiary syphilis with palatal perforation and the prosthetic rehabilitation of the defect with a prosthetic obturator.
梅毒是一种由苍白密螺旋体（一种微需氧螺旋体）引起的性传播疾病。如果未被发现和治疗，梅毒可能从一期发展到三期。在鉴别诊断伴有腭穿孔的口腔炎性或溃疡性病变时，牙医应保持警惕并怀疑梅毒等性传播感染。此外，牙医必须了解其分期、特征、口腔表现和修复康复知识。本病例报告描述了一例伴有腭穿孔的三期梅毒病例以及用修复性阻塞器对缺损进行修复康复的情况。
