Abstract

This article presents a clinical analysis of the medical history of a patient being under medical treatment in the cardiovascular intensive care unit. Dental examination revealed an asymptomatic pathology of the oral mucosa in the form of a lichenoid reaction with vivid clinical symptomatology. It was concluded that these changes were of allergic origin and appeared in response to prolonged exposure to drugs. Recommendations for dental treatment of this category of patients have been substantiated.
