Viral infections of the oral cavity usually manifest as either ulceration or blistering presentation of oral tissues. Oral viral infections are encountered in dental practice but received less clinical interest due to the lesser frequency of patients and diagnostic challenges. The clinical presentation, pathogenic mechanism, investigations, and management of oral viral infections are integrated into the article which will enable general dentists to develop critical thinking processes on differential diagnosis and management through a multidisciplinary approach with specialist dentists.
口腔病毒感染通常表现为口腔组织的溃疡或水疱样表现。口腔病毒感染在牙科实践中较为常见，但由于患者数量较少以及诊断挑战，其受到的临床关注较少。本文综合介绍了口腔病毒感染的临床表现、致病机制、检查和管理，这将使普通牙医能够通过与专科牙医的多学科方法，培养对鉴别诊断和管理的批判性思维过程。
