Psoriasis is a chronic dermatitis of undetermined etiology. The patient was a 60-year-old male who complained of pus discharge from maxillary frontal gingiva. The patient had been suffered from psoriasis vulgaris for 8 years, and there were many reddish papules in breast, abdomen, limbs and facial skin. Radiological examination showed a lowered maxillary left canine, periapical radiolucency of the maxillary right first premolar and horizontal loss of alveolar bone in maxilla and mandibular bone. After treatment of marginal periodontitis, the maxillary right first premolar and the impacted maxillary left canine were extracted. After these treatments, reddish papules rapidly improved and disappeared completely within 2 weeks after extraction. This clinical course suggests that psoriasis was caused by dental focal infection.
