 Immune mediated diseases of oral cavity are uncommon. The lesions may be self-limiting and undergo remission spontaneously.  Confirmatory diagnosis can be made by biopsy, direct and indirect immunofluorescence, immune precipitation and immunoblotting. Therapeutic agents should be selected after thorough evaluation of immune status, like the Hypersensitivity reactions, through a variety of tests and after determining any aggravating or provoking factors. Cellular and humeral mediated immunity play a major role directed against epithelial and connective tissue in chronic and recurrent patterns. Immune-mediated skin infections influencing the oral cavity keep on being uncommon, the predominance found in this examination being like that revealed for the majority share of areas around the world. Early finding is basic in the treatment of these illnesses, remembering that systemic inclusion is conceivable in these patients.
