  • Title: The significance of ecstasy use to dental practice.
    Author: Maloney WJ, Raymond G.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2014 Nov; 80(6):24-7. PubMed ID: 25675611.
    Abstract:
    3,4 Methylenedioxymethampetamine (MDMA), commonly known as ecstasy, is an illicit drug used by individuals seeking mood enhancement. Ecstasy's pharmacology, systemic, oral and dental manifestations are presented. Use of this drug is not limited to a particular socioeconomic class and, as such, all practicing dentists must be aware of both the intra-oral effects of this drug and any possible alterations to dental treatment that might become necessary. Dental manifestations include bruxism, increased incidence of caries, xerostomia and oral ulcers.
