Drug-Induced Oral Complications
Sinopsis :
This book provides detailed information on the prevalence and
manifestations of the most important oral complications
associated with different drug treatments, focusing especially
on recently developed therapies. Among the diverse adverse
drug reactions covered are gingival overgrowth, ulcerations,
lichenoid reactions, pigmentation, and bullous reactions. The
potential direct toxic effects on bone of drugs that prevent
bone mass loss, such as bisphosphonates and denosumab,
are fully examined, as is the occurrence of spontaneous oral
bleeding in patients receiving antithrombotic therapies. Further
chapters focus on drug-induced taste disorders and salivary
gland disturbances, including xerostomia, swelling, and
hypersalivation. The enhanced risk of oral infections when

using chemotherapy and biotherapy is addressed, and the
closing chapter examines drug-related perioral and facial
complications. This book is a collaborative work that brings
together clinicians, surgeons, and specialists in drug safety
surveillance. It will be of value for all dental and medical
practitioners who encounter these complications in their
clinical practice.
