DENTAL ASPECTS OF MANIFESTATION OF ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS.

Abstract

Abstract:  Drug-induced oral adverse reactions (ADRs) are frequently encountered in dental practice but are often under recognized or misdiagnosed due to their clinical resemblance to primary oral diseases. As systemic drug use increases, particularly in aging and polymerization populations, awareness of these reactions becomes essential for timely diagnosis and effective management. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the range, frequency, causative agents, and clinical implications of drug-induced oral ADRs, with an emphasis on diagnostic relevance for dental professionals.
