Abstract(s)
O objetivo deste trabalho foi refletir sobre os efeitos deletérios do consumo de tabaco na saúde oral e sobre o papel do médico dentista no tratamento de pacientes expostos a estes riscos. Para atingi-lo, procedeu-se uma pesquisa na literatura científica e nos sítios de órgãos governamentais portugueses e de entidades supranacionais relacionadas à área da saúde.
O Médico Dentista está em posição privilegiada para reconhecer os problemas originados pela exposição ao tabaco, na cavidade oral. O tabagismo está associado ao cancro oral, doença periodontal, alteração dos tecidos moles orais, perda de dentes e implantes, entre outros problemas.
Identificou-se a existência de uma elevada percentagem no consumo do tabaco entre profissionais e acadêmicos da área da Medicina Dentária. Este facto permite concluir que estes profissionais necessitam reavaliar a sua postura perante o problema do combate ao Tabagismo, visando uma saúde oral de excelência para a Sociedade.
