Abstract

ORAL CANCERs account for a relatively high percent of neoplasms in the elderly population. Treatment protocols often include anti-neoplastic pharmaco–therapeutics, irradiation of the head and neck region, and surgery. These treatments, specially radiation, have detrimental effects on oral hard and soft tissues. Salivary glands undergo a distinct and longterm dysfunction, which leads to decrease in salivary flow. XEROSTOMIA is a common clinical problem in these patients which contributes to dry mouth, MUCOSITEs, change in oral ecosystem and DENTAL CARIES, followed by difficulties in speech, swallowing and use of dentures which cause malnutrition. This phenomenon has an irreversible weakening effect on the patient’s health. To prevent this negative impact on oral health in this group of patients, definitive dental treatments prior to the initiation of medical therapies is imperative, and will decrease the morbidity rates. Today’s dentistry benefits from improved methods and materials, which enable us to give these patients a better preventive dental treatment. Consultation between dentist and medical team would be the best way to help our sufferer patients.
