Resumen:
Background: In the dental environment there is not much talk about the
oral manifestations resulting from the use of drugs, because in general
the issue of drugs is a very difficult subject to deal with. Therefore,
the objective of this work is to understand what are the most obvious
manifestations in the oral cavity and as the dentist can detect them.
Material and Methods: In order to carry out this bibliographical review,
a scientific article search was made by consulting the PubMed database.
The abstracts were read to recruit only what was consistent with the
chosen topic.
Results: The 23 sources of information affirmed the relationship between
a bad state of general health, and more in the specific, bad state of
oral cavity.
Conclusions: The most relevant manifestations were: decay, loss of teeth
and precancerous lesions. These manifestations were present in most of
the cases studied. All this is a consequence of the drug and the
lifestyle acquired by the drug users studied. Key words:Drug, caries,
meth mouth, periodontitis, xerostomia.
