Abstract(s)
De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde tem-se verificado um aumento significativo do número de pacientes com depressão. Esta é uma doença de origem multifatorial à qual estão associados fatores genéticos, psicossociais e alterações bioquímicas. Na depressão coincidem uma série de fatores que favorecem o aparecimento de alterações na cavidade oral. Este trabalho investiga os efeitos da depressão na saúde oral e os cuidados que o médico dentista deverá ter no tratamento destes pacientes. Entre as manifestações orais associadas à depressão e aos medicamentos antidepressores são destacadas, neste trabalho, a xerostomia, a cárie dentária, as doenças periodontais, o bruxismo, a estomatite aftosa recorrente e a síndrome da boca ardente. Por fim, é também enfatizada a importância da comunicação entre profissionais de saúde mental e dentistas, de forma a serem evitadas complicações e ser estabelecido um plano de tratamento adequado.
