  • Title: The Oral Effects of Inhalation Corticosteroid Therapy: An Update.
    Author: Cox DP, Ferreira L.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2017 May; 45(5):227-33. PubMed ID: 29072423.
    Abstract:
    Inhaled corticosteroids (IC) are commonly used for the treatment of respiratory diseases. Although these medications are generally considered safer when compared to oral systemic corticosteroids, there is evidence for potential systemic and local adverse effects with their use. Therefore, dentists should be aware of these adverse effects, especially the commonest local effects that can involve the oral mucosa. This article reviews the literature on the complications of IC therapy with emphasis on its potential oral effects.
