- Abstract
Drug use is still on the rise today, with designer drugs being particularly dangerous. In addition to the general effects on the body, we must also mention the negative effects on the oral cavity. Many people do not realise that oral health can also be at risk, although oral lesions can develop as a result of poor oral hygiene, infections or neurological symptoms caused by the way in which the drug is used, or even by the way in which it is taken. In addition to dental caries, it is important to mention oral infections, tooth wear, or even Kaposi’s sarcoma due to possible HIV infection. Recognition of these oral lesions and of illegal drug use is not only a task for dental professionals, but also for the whole health care system.
