“…The corresponding In addition, consistent with prior research, the obtained mean score of CPI was high in people who use MA [27]. The longer the duration of drug use, the greater the risk for oral health problems [62][63][64]. This is while the obtained scores of DT, DMFT and CPI were significantly greater in patients reporting ≥4 years of MA use, in comparison to individuals who reported shorter history of such use.…”

Background: The aim of our study was to perform a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis in order to investigate relationship between drug use and oral health. Methods: We searched for studies in English published before July 1, 2019 on PsycINFO, PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science. We assessed the relationship between drug use (methamphetamines, heroin; opiates; crack, cocaine and cannabis as dependent variables) and reported tooth loss, periodontal disease, or decayed, missing, and filled teeth index as an independent variable. The data were analyzed using Stata 12.0 software. Results:We initially identified 1836 potential articles (with 1100 duplicates) and screened the remaining 736 titles and abstracts, comprising 54 studies. In the next step, we evaluated the full-texts; 44 studies were excluded, accordingly. In total, we included 10 publications in the meta-analysis. Drug type was associated with periodontal disease (OR 1.44; 95% CI 0.8-2.6) and pooled estimates showed that type of drug used increased the odds of the number of decayed, missed and filled teeth (DMFT) (OR 4.11; 95% CI 2.07-8.15) respectively. Conclusions: The analytical challenges of segregating the impact of individual drug types on oral health diseases mean that investigations on the direct relationship between oral health status and drug use are limited. Developing programs to improve potential confounding with various substances and addressing the dental health needs of people who use drugs is vital if we are to improve their overall quality of life.

“…O presente estudo apresentou a mesma média de idade (29 anos), porém mais da metade dos dependentes estava empregada e afastada para tratamento. Pesquisa recente com 519 indivíduos indicou, como preditores de uma saúde bucal ruim, o avanço da idade, o emprego em horário parcial e os desempregados, em comparação àqueles que estão empregados em tempo integral 11 .…”

ResumoIntrodução: A pesquisa das condições bucais de usuários de drogas é importante para ser conhecida esta população, cujo crescimento é ascendente no Brasil, a fim de que metas preventivas e atendimento adequado sejam traçados. Objetivo: Identificar o perfil sociodemográfico e a condição bucal desta população, em dois municípios paranaenses. Material e método: Foram coletados, por meio de questionário e de exame físico, dados de 100 indivíduos. Foram obtidos os seguintes valores: índice CPOD, profundidade de sondagem (PS), nível de inserção clínica (NIC), índice gengival (IG), índice de placa (IP) e sangramento à sondagem (SS). Após análise descritiva inicial, empregaram-se os testes t de Student e ANOVA one-way. Resultado: A média da idade foi 29,12 anos. As maiores frequências foram: gênero masculino (95,5%), solteiros (69,0%), baixa escolaridade (41%) e maior consumo de drogas lícitas -tabaco (90,9%) e álcool (84,5%) -, seguidas de crack (80,9%) e maconha (77,3%). A média do CPOD foi 15,21 (DP=5,84) e quanto maior o tempo de dependência, maior este índice (p<0,05). A média da PS foi 3,55 e do NIC, 3,59. O SS ocorreu em 82,7% dos casos e a inflamação moderada, em 79,5%. Placa detectável e moderado acúmulo de placa foram identificados em 39,5% e 35,3%, respectivamente. Conclusão: Predominaram indivíduos do gênero masculino, jovens, solteiros, com baixa escolaridade e consumidores de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, com condição bucal ruim. Sugere-se mais atenção dos profissionais da área odontológica e dos elaboradores de políticas públicas, com vistas a esta população.Descritores: Saúde bucal; usuários de drogas; epidemiologia. AbstractIntroduction: Epidemiological survey of the oral conditions of drug users is an important strategy to know this population, whose growth is increasing in Brazil, so that preventive goals and adequate treatment can be proposed. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the sociodemographic profile and oral health condition of drug users in rehab of two municipalities of the State of Paraná. Material and method: One hundred individuals participated in the study, which data were collected by questionnaire and physical exam. The following values were obtained: DMFT index (decay-missing-filled index), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), and bleeding on probing (BOP). Data analyses were performed by Student t test and one-way ANOVA. Result: The mean age of participants was 29.12 years. The major frequencies were: male (95.5%), single (69.0%), lower schooling (41%) and higher consumption of licit drugs tobacco (90.9%) and alcohol (84.5%), followed by crack (80.9%), and marijuana (77.3%). The mean DMFT index was 15.21 (SD=5.84), and the longer the dependence time, the greater this index (p<0.05). Mean PD was 3.55 and mean CAL was 3.59. BOP occurred in 82.7% and 79.5% showed moderate inflammation. Detectable plaque and moderate plaque accumulation were observed in 39.5% and 35.3%, respectively. Conclusion: Prevalence was observed in ...

“…These substances produce an intense rush of pleasure, a sense of euphoria and a general state of dehydration (8,9). People who inject drugs (PWID) are more exposed to infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis, accidental overdose, and anesthesia complications (10). Drug abuse has both direct and indirect consequences for oral health; the associated complications may result from direct exposure of oral tissues to drugs during smoking or ingestion, biologic interaction of drugs with normal physiology of oral cavity, and the effects of drugs on the brain and on systemic functions (2).…”

Oral manifestations in drug users: A review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
