Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that is caused by a defect in the gene coding for the transmembrane cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Research papers published so far point out that despite the numerous dental treatment needs of CF patients, there are no oral care guidelines for this group of patients. The aim of the article is to propose standards of dental prophylactic and therapeutic procedures for CF patients in different age groups. Regardless of the CF patient's age, dental check-ups should be scheduled at least every 6 months. However, taking into account the actual condition of the individual CF patients, therapeutic visits may be scheduled for earlier dates, to provide well-fitting treatment, considering the level of risk of oral diseases. The described management standards may be helpful and may improve the quality of dental care provided to CF patients.
