Incidence of oral diseases with microorganisms causing sexually transmitted diseases

Session

Pharmaceutical and Natural Sciences

Description

During oral-genital intercourse, especially if the contact is prolonged, oral and genital secretions can be transferred from one person to another. In this way, microorganisms that require very specific favorable conditions for reproduction and that would otherwise not be able to survive in less direct modes of transmission (eg T. pallidum, herpes simplex virus) can be successfully transmitted. After the discovery of the HIV virus, there is a great interest in the non-sexual mode of transmission of such infections. The main categories of sexually transmitted diseases of importance to the oral cavity are bacterial (including chlamydial), viral and fungal diseases. Considering the frequent manifestations in the oral cavity, interest in diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis B and C and HIV.

Using the literature published in this field, the authors prepare this paper to describe the etiology, the clinical overview of diseases caused by the transmission of infection during intimate contact between the oral cavity and genital organs.

A comprehensive literature search using international literature from databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and the Cochrane Library.

Oral manifestations of sexually transmitted diseases are rare or rarely encountered in specialized practice in a small country such as the Republic of Kosovo. Dentists are the first to see and diagnose venereal diseases of the mouth. Such a role would mean a change in the traditional activity model of the dentist, for which perhaps neither the dentist nor his patient is ready today, either for cultural reasons or because of the traditional perception of the dental profession.

For the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases that enter the oral cavity, it is recommended that oral medicine specialists work as part of a multidisciplinary team, together with an infectious disease specialist, dermatovenerologist, urologist, gynecologist and microbiologist, to establish the diagnosis of correctly and treating the patient.
