Orally dissolving buprenorphine for opioid use disorder linked to caries
Background
Buprenorphine is under scrutiny because of the development of xerostomia and caries. The purpose of this article was to inform dental care professionals about the oral effects of buprenorphine and to increase knowledge and awareness of medication-assisted treatment in the management of opioid use disorder (OUD).
Case Description
In 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about xerostomia and caries associated with the use of transmucosal (sublingual and buccal formulations) buprenorphine. Dental health care professionals should instruct patients taking buprenorphine on how to prevent these dental issues by means of rinsing with water and swallowing once the drug has been completely dissolved, followed by toothbrushing at least 1 hour after taking the drug. In addition, a fluoride supplement should be prescribed.
Practical Implications
It is imperative for dentists to recognize buprenorphine as medication-assisted treatment and to recognize a patient as having an OUD. While taking buprenorphine, the patient should have more frequent oral health care appointments, including home care instructions and caries risk assessment to monitor for caries and xerostomia so that treatment, if indicated, could be initiated as soon as possible. In addition, the dentist’s role in OUD is to make sure patients follow the treatment recommendations and use the buprenorphine and to not have them discontinue because of potential caries risk.
期刊介绍:
There is not a single source or solution to help dentists in their quest for lifelong learning, improving dental practice, and dental well-being. JADA+, along with The Journal of the American Dental Association, is striving to do just that, bringing together practical content covering dentistry topics and procedures to help dentists—both general dentists and specialists—provide better patient care and improve oral health and well-being. This is a work in progress; as we add more content, covering more topics of interest, it will continue to expand, becoming an ever-more essential source of oral health knowledge.
