TI  - Ecstasy (MDMA) and oral health.

LID - 10.1038/bdj.2008.4 [doi]
AB  - 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), more commonly known as 'ecstasy' or 
      XTC, is frequently used by young adults in the major cities. Therefore, it is 
      likely that dentists might be confronted with individuals who use ecstasy. This 
      review describes systemic and oral effects of ecstasy. Life-threatening 
      complications include hyperthermia, hyponatraemia and liver failure. In addition, 
      psychotic episodes, depression, panic disorders and impulsive behaviour have been 
      reported. Oral effects include xerostomia, bruxism, and an increased risk of 
      developing dental erosion. Mucosal changes have also been reported. Recent use of 
      ecstasy may interfere with dental treatment. Finally, the potential use of saliva 
      for non-invasive detection of ecstasy is discussed.
