Abstract

Objective: Oral and dental problems are considered as an important cause of comorbidity in chronic respiratory diseases. The common opinion regards inhalers as the most important cause of oral and dental problems. This opinion causes patients not to take the drugs in the appropriate time and dose thus the treatment is not fully provided. The aim of our study is to evaluate oral-oropharyngeal and dental findings and to increase drug use compliance in patients using inhaler drugs due to chronic respiratory disease.

Özet

Amaç: Kronik solunum yolu hastalıklarında, oral ve dental sorunlar önemli bir komorbidite nedeni olarak görülmektedir. Oral ve dental sorunların en önemli nedeni olarak yaygın görüş ise inhaler ilaçlardır. Bu görüş hastaların ilaçları uygun süre, dozda almamalarına ve tedavinin tam sağlanamamasına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, çalışmamızın amacı, kronik solunumsal hastalığı nedeniyle inhaler ilaçlar kullanan hastalarda, oral-orofarengeal, dental bulguları değerlendirmek ve ilaç kullanım uyumunu artırmayı sağlayabilmektir.
