Myasthenia gravis: a review for dental hygienists.

Myasthenia Gravis (MG), an autoimmune disease causing fluctuating weakness in the voluntary muscles, leads to various degrees of neurological dysfunction. Typically exhibiting a slow but progressive course, the disease may become fatal when muscles of respiration fail. Appropriate dental hygiene management of patients with this disorder is contingent upon an understanding of disease etiology, clinical characteristics, pharmacological interventions as well as oral manifestations.
