title: [The effect of drugs on the orofacial area].
abstract: The oral and maxillofacial region is affected by the negative side effects of a wide variety of endogenic and exogenic factors including drugs. Drugs are commonly used to treat oral and maxillofacial diseases, but more often the oral and maxillofacial region is affected by the side effects of drugs and home-remedies on the orofacial tissues taken by the patient himself or prescribed by a dentist or physician. In this paper both factors are described which the dentist has to consider when he prescribes a drug as well as the oral and maxillofacial side effects of a variety of drugs.
