Abstract(s)
O alcoolismo, como muitos outros vícios, é uma condição na qual uma pessoa, de um ponto de vista mental e físico, necessita de consumir álcool, apesar dos efeitos prejudiciais que causa na sua vida.
Os níveis de consumo de álcool, os padrões e o alcance das questões relacionadas com a ingestão do mesmo na comunidade são influenciados por variáveis diversas, tanto no âmbito individual, quanto social. A quantidade total de álcool ingerido e os hábitos de bebida, particularmente aqueles ligados a episódios de consumo excessivo, têm um papel significativo nas condições crónicas e agudas da saúde, nomeadamente na saúde oral.
Os efeitos do alcoolismo na saúde oral são discutidos nesta tese. São descritos quatro “tópicos” principais, nomeadamente erosão dentária, doenças periodontais, cancro oral e atendimento odontológico, os quais refletem os efeitos imediatos de tal problema na saúde oral.
Para isso, efetuou-se uma revisão de literatura, realizada através de uma pesquisa de artigos científicos publicados no PubMed e b-on, e com a qual se pretendeu analisar as etapas, causas e consequências de cada um dos “tópicos” supracitados.
Alcoholism, like many other addictions, is a condition in which a person, from a mental and physical point of view, needs to consume alcohol despite the detrimental effects it has on their life. Levels of alcohol consumption, patterns and the scope of issues related to alcohol ingestion in the community are influenced by different variables, both at the individual and social levels. The overall amount of alcohol drank and drinking habits, particularly those habits linked to bouts of heavy drinking, have a significant role in how alcohol intake affects chronic and acute health conditions, namely on oral health. The worldwide effects of alcoholism on oral health are discussed in this thesis. Four main “topics” are described, namely dental erosion, periodontal diseases, oral cancer and dental management, which reflect the immediate effects of such a problem on oral health. For that, a literature review was carried out through a search of scientific articles published in PubMed and b-on, and with which it was intended to analyse the stages, causes and consequences for each of the aforementioned “topics”.
