The study aims to assess the correlation between dental pathologies and ophthalmic diseases. Based on a statistical evaluation, the study examines the presence of dental diseases in patients suffering from optic neuritis or uveitis in comparison to a control group of subjects. The possible interactions between the two ophthalmic pathologies and dental diseases are then analyzed in order to highlight possible clinical signs which may be useful for their identification.
