Abstract
Methamphetamine-induced caries (MIC) is the rampant caries often found in methamphetamine (MA) users and is often called “meth mouth”. It leads to devastating effects on dentition and is the major reason that brings patients to professional help. Dental management of these patients is challenging and the most important factor is cessation of MA use. Dentists must be aware of the signs and medical risks associated with this serious condition. If duly attended to, the dental team can help patients on many levels. Treatment plans can be simplified, so that each visit does not last too long. Finally, more attention should be paid topostoperative care. This case report presents a 40-year-old man with rampant caries caused by MA abuse with poor oral hygiene and smoking habits. He was advised to stop the drug abuse and the affected teeth underwent endodontic, restorative and prosthetic rehabilitation. One year later, the patient had some secondary caries but had stopped all drug abuse.
