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.
