Wilson's disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is an autossomal recessive inheritance illness characterizes by excessive deposition of copper in the organism, mainly in liver, kidney, brain and corneas.

The initial symptoms may be neurological, hepatic, psychiatric, hematological, ophthalmologic, hematological and cardiac. Since Wilson's disease is an infinity affecting the hemostatic mechanism, the clinical case is meant to alert the dental surgeon of the importance of being aware of such systemic pathology for surgical-dental treatment as well as for knowing how to refer and interpret complementary examinations in the evaluation on the hemostalic mechanism.
