Description
Summary:<p>Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory condition of the lung airways whose cause is incompletely understood. A variety of disorders can result in asthma. The most common is an inherited immunologic abnormality that allows inhalet antigens (allergens) to trigger a hypersensitive response mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) and thus produce bronchial narrowing. The circumstances leading to an episode of asthma should be analyzed to identify possible precipitating factors. In oral, infection focus may be important in precipitating attacks. Asthma medications can contribute to xerostomia, making individuals who use medications more susceptible to caries and periodontal disease. The goal of the dental management of the patient asthma is to avoid precipitating an acute attack.
