Oral manifestations of substance abuse vary, but abusers tend to have a higher incidence of dental caries and periodontal disease than the general population.10 This may result from neglect more than drugs, but cocaine addicts may apply the drug to gingival tissues, and it may be directly responsible for the oral disease. Cocaine abusers may also exhibit angular cheilitis, oral candidiasis, glossodynia, cervical abrasion, gingival laceration, and severe bruxism. Patients with combined cocaine and alcohol addiction tend to exhibit the most severe oral disease conditions and symptoms, such as severe xerostomia, advanced periodontitis, many decayed teeth, many missing teeth, and severe tooth attrition from bruxism. Oral manifestations of cocaine use include reduced salivary secretions, increased dental caries, abnormal tooth-wear patterns, and acute gingival inflammatory effects.
