title="Interdisciplinary dental care as a component of comprehensive treatment for patients with cystic fibrosis",
abstract="            This  paper aims to identify the dental prevention and treatment needs  of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and suggest implementation  of dedicated dental health standards for such patients. Oral  bacterial microbiota are a part of the upper  respiratory tract microbiota, which is of crucial importance,  especially for patients at risk of respiratory auto-infection.  Parents and, later, patients themselves are not always aware  of the harmful impact of the ongoing pathologies  in the oral cavity on the whole body. Hence, educating on  how to counteract auto-infection is necessary. CF patients are  a group that require targeted dental care, and a dentist  should be a member of a multi-specialist patient-care  team. To improve the oral health of CF patients, it is  advisable to implement overall solutions involving targeted  preventive and therapeutic measures. Presented oral health standards  of CF patients may affect their general health and quality  of life.        ",
