- Title
Oral Manifestations of Illicit Drug Use.
- Authors
Bartold, P Mark
- Abstract
In this issue of the ADJ we publish a paper reviewing the oral effects of illicit drug use.[1] This paper is noteworthy because it covers illicit drug use in the context of both "recreational drug use" and also misuse of prescription medications. Oral health care providers should be aware of the diverse adverse effects of illicit drug use on general and oral health and incorporate questions about patients' patterns of use in the medical history. Overall, further studies of adverse reactions on the oral tissues to illicit drug use (past and present) are needed as this continues to be an important and increasing factor in oral health determination and management.
