Objectives: The main objectives are to present the different adverses effects of the immunomodulatory drugs that
can impair the quality of life of the immunosupressed patients and study the impact of immunomodualtion on
oral diseases. Immunomodulatory drugs have changed the treatment protocols of many diseases where immune
functions play a central role, such as rheumatic diseases. Their effect on oral health has not been systematically
investigated, however.
Study Design: We review current data on the new immunomodulatory drugs from the oral health perspective
based on open literature search of the topic.
Results: These target specific drugs appear to have less drug interactions than earlier immunomodulating medicines
but have nevertheless potential side effects such as activating latent infections. There are some data showing
that the new immunomodulatory drugs may also have a role in the treatment of certain oral diseases such as lichen
planus or ameliorating symptoms in Sjögren´s syndrome, but the results have not been overly promising.
Conclusions: In general, data are sparse of the effect of these new drugs vs. oral diseases and there are no properly
powered randomized controlled trials published on this topic.
