Summary

This study looks at dental health and oral quality of life in people with Wilson's disease, comparing those with liver versus neurological symptoms to healthy controls. Researchers will collect saliva samples and use questionnaires and dental exams to see if copper levels in saliva reflect treatment effectiveness. The goal is to better understand oral health problems in Wilson's disease and find new ways to monitor the condition.
