Drug-based interventions in dentistry: support and optimization techniques

Abstract

Background: The introduction of modern approaches in dentistry requires a review of existing patient care strategies. The growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the structure of overall morbidity demonstrates the importance of considering comorbidities when planning dental interventions and medication support. Objective: The study aims to systematise modern approaches to optimising the drug treatment of patients with NCDs in dental practice on the example of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its complications. Methods: The research methodology included an analysis of modern scientific literature, statistical data and clinical studies. Results: The relationship between oral diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is analysed. The pathophysiological mechanisms of this relationship and modern approaches to pharmacological support of patients are considered. Particular attention is paid to using herbal remedies and nutraceuticals in dental practice, which helps reduce systemic inflammation and the risk of complications. Conclusion: The data obtained indicate the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in treating such patients.
