Abstract
Lead was a key component in the medical sciences during its early days. Over the years the toxic effects of lead has been studied in detail and have been withdrawn from the modern drugs. However lead ingestion continues to be a problem in workers involved in battery and paint industry thus leading to occupational hazard. The systemic effects of lead poisoning have been discussed in several reviews and case reports. We have made an attempt to briefly review the oral findings in chronic lead poisoning in this article.
