Cystic fibrosis (CF)
Dental riskmoderate
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease causing thick airway secretions, chronic infection/inflammation, and bronchiectasis. Patients often require frequent antibiotics, airway-clearance therapy, and have chronic colonization with organisms like Pseudomonas. Dental relevance: higher risk of respiratory complications with sedation/GA, significant drug interaction potential (chronic azithromycin, QT-risk stacking), and important cross-infection considerations between CF patients.
