| Popis: | Sugar-containing syrups such as cough medications have been recognised as potentially cariogenic, especially for chronically sick children suffering from otitis media, seizure disorder, congenital cardiac diseases and asthma. Unfortunately, an increasing number of juveniles are addicted to cough syrups containing centrally-acting drugs and these individuals not only end up with medical and social problems, but also with dental manifestations. This paper addresses the latter problem with the help of two illustrative cases. |
