Abstract

STD (engl. sexually transmitted diseases) su spolno prenosive bolesti koje se prenose vaginalnim, analnim ili oralnim spolnim kontaktom. Danas postoji podjela na „klasične“ spolne bolesti i infekcije koje se karakteristično pojavljuju u anogenitalnom i oralnom području. Neke od tih bolesti mogu se prenijeti i nespolno, odnosno kontaktom sa zaraţenim predmetom ili vertikalnim prijenosom sa zaraţene majke na dijete.
Svake godine više od 400 milijuna ljudi oboli od spolno prenosivih bolesti. Osim u anogenitalnom području, promjene u sklopu spolno prenosivih bolesti mogu se razviti i u oralnoj šupljini. Promjene ponekad imaju karakterističan izgled te ponekad predstavljaju prvi korak u postavljanju dijagnoze spolno prenosive bolesti.
U općoj populaciji uvrijeţeno je mišljenje da je oralni spolni odnos „siguran“ način spolnog odnosa i kako ne predstavlja rizik za prijenos infekcije. No danas se zna da oralna šupljina, osim što predstavlja mjesto mogućeg prijenosa infekcije i razvoja karakterističnih oralnih manifestacija spolno prenosivih bolesti, takoĎer predstavlja potencijalni rizik za prijenos infekcije sa zaraţenog pacijenta na medicinsko osoblje tijekom dijagnostičkih ili terapijskih postupaka, uključujući doktore dentalne medicine.
Uloga doktora dentalne medicine bi trebala, osim poznavanja karakterističnih promjena radi postavljanja ispravne dijagnoze, uključivati i informiranje pacijenata o rizicima koje sadrţi oralni spolni odnos.

Abstract (english)

STD stands for sexually transmitted disease. They are spread by vaginal, anal or oral sexual intercourse. Today we differentiate between “classical” venereal diseases and infections which appear in the anogenital or oral area. Some of the diseases can be transmitted asexually - by being in touch with an infected object or vertically from a mother to a child.
Every year there are more than 400 million people infected. Except in the anogenital area, modifications related to sexually transmitted diseases can be visible in the oral cavity. Sometimes the appearance of the modifications is really distinctive which serves as a basis for diagnosing a certain sexually transmitted disease.
People generally think that oral sex is 'safe' and that there is no risk of infection. Today, we are aware of the fact that oral cavity is not only a place of possible infection transmission and a place for development of the oral STD manifestations, but it also represents potential risk of infecting medical staff (including the doctors of dental medicine) during diagnosing or therapy.
So, the doctors of dental medicine should not only differentiate the modifications for giving the correct diagnosis, but they should also inform patients about the risks of oral sex.
