Abstract :
Fasting is a religious obligation, which can be challenging for individuals with oral conditions due to its
stringent code of conduct. Moreover, food abstinence during fasting can restrict oral feeding even further in
patients whose nutrition has been already compromised. Previous research has mainly concentrated on
oral hygiene and gum health, disregarding orodental conditions and diseases. This highlights the
importance of further research in this regard. In this paper, we intended to clarify the correlation between
fasting and oral injections, bleeding following tooth extraction, and brushing to overcome common
misconceptions which indicate the breach of religious disciplines under such circumstances. We also aimed
to determine the grave effects of fasting on health in case of severe immunological deficiencies, chronic oral
ulcers and certain drug administration protocols for those with rigid religious beliefs.
