Oral Health Considerations in Human Papilloma Virus Infection

Browne Dravid

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection has gained increasing attention due to its association with oropharyngeal cancer and its potential implications for oral health. This abstract summarizes the key points addressed in the article on "Oral Health Considerations in Human Papilloma Virus Infection." The article discusses the prevalence of HPV and its ability to infect the cells of the oral cavity, including the throat and tonsils. It explores the oral health implications of HPV infection, including the risk of oropharyngeal cancer, the presence of oral lesions, modes of transmission, and the role of dental professionals in prevention and early detection. Emphasis is placed on the importance of vaccination, regular dental check-ups, and public awareness to protect oral health in the context of HPV infection.
