Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a multisystem disorder that occurs in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic (alloHCT) stem cell transplants and is characterized by both inflammatory and fibrotic manifestations. It begins with the recognition of host tissues by the non-self (allogeneic) graft and progresses to tissue inflammation, organ dysfunction and fibrosis throughout the body. Oral cavity manifestations of cGVHD include mucosal features, salivary gland dysfunction and fibrosis. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of oral cGVHD, with a focus on emerging trends and novel therapeutics. Data from various clinical studies and expert consensus are integrated to provide a comprehensive overview.
