Abstract

Ovisnost o alkoholu i drogi raširena je pojava u općoj populaciji. Stoga je velika
vjerojatnost da će se svaki stomatolog u svom radnom vijeku susresti s određenim
brojem pacijenata koji su bivši ili aktualni ovisnici o alkoholu ili drogi. Osim što ima
negativan utjecaj na socijalno funkcioniranje i okolinu pojednica, ovisnost se manifestira
sustavno i oralno na tijelu svakoga ovisnika. Postoje razlike u oralnim manifestacijama
između te dvije ovisnosti, a poznavanje osnovnih mehanizama djelovanja alkohola i
pojedinih droga na tijelo i usnu šupljinu pomaže stomatologu u prepoznavanju i
pravilnom liječenju ovisnika. Konzumacija alkohola i droga svrstava pacijente u različite
skupine povišenog rizika za određena patološka stanja. Znanje stomatologa o tome koja
su to stanja usmjerava ga prema prevenciji nastanka ili napredovanja bolesti specifičnih
za zlouporabu pojedinih supstanci. Kod alkoholičara je bitno pažnju usmjeriti na
zdravlje oralne sluznice zbog kancerogenog djelovanja alkohola i cigareta, a kod
ovisnika o drogama nalazimo velik broj karijesom zahvaćenih zuba i povećanu sklonost
upalama i erozijama sluznice.

Abstract (english)

Alcohol and drug addiction is a widespread phenomenon in general population,
which means that there is a big possibility that every dentist will eventually encounter a
number of patients which are, or have been addicted to alcohol or drugs. Except for
having a negative influence on an individual’s social functioning and environment,
addiction is also systemically and orally manifested on the body. There are differences
in oral manifestations between those two types of addiction, and knowing the basic
mechanisms of the way in which alcohol and certain drugs affect the body and mouth
helps a dentist to recognize and treat addicts accordingly. Alcohol and drugs put patients
in different groups of increased risk of certain pathological conditions. A dentist’s
knowledge of those conditions directs him or her towards the prevention of occurrence
or advancement of illnesses specific to the abuse of certain substances. When treating
alcohol addicts, attention should be directed towards the state of oral mucosa due to the
carcinogenic effect of alcohol and cigarettes, and when it comes to drug addicts, a big
number of teeth with caries lesions can be found, and there is an increased tendency
towards inflammations and erosions of oral mucosa.
