“…Radiation is a very effective therapy and can be an alternative to surgical treatment or a valuable adjunctive modality for surgery and chemotherapy in loco regional treatment and control of head and neck cancer.

Objective To describe mouth disorders in patients undergoing palliative care (PC); to identify predisposing factors for oral disorders and pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies. Methods Observational, exploratory, correlational, and descriptive study about mouth disorders of patients admitted to a hospital specializing in PC in Portugal, between November 6, 2019, and July 31, 2020. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire and the consultation of the patient's clinical file. It was obtained the previous authorization of the ethics committee and the patient's informed consent. Data were analyzed using the SPSS® software (V.26). Results The sample was 46, 56.52% were over 71 years old, and the male sex ratio of 63.04%. Most of the patients had an advanced oncological disease, were polymedicated, had missing teeth, and no regular hygiene habits. Xerostomia and oral candidiasis were the most identified problems. Patients with oncological diseases have more probability to suffer from mouth disorders ( P = .047), compared to noncancer patients. Patients with frequent oral hygiene have fewer mouth disorders (rp = −0.304; P = .040). There is a considerable improvement in the tongue coating with an increase in oral hygiene ( P = .005). Mouth care plays is important in patient comfort (n = 45; 97.83%) and nonpharmacological strategies are effective for the relief of xerostomia (n = 35; 94.59%). Conclusions Nonpharmacological strategies are effective in the treatment of xerostomia and tongue coating. More information to determine the effectiveness of the strategies in the treatment of mouth disorders is necessary.

Utiliza-se da radioterapia para combate ao câncer de cabeça e pescoço. Efeitos adversos agudos e tardios podem ser encontrados em decorrência de intervenção radioterápica em cabeça e pescoço. Os tardios englobam a ocorrência da cárie de radiação, trismo, fibrose cutânea, edema da face e do pescoço, sintomatologia dolorosa e osteorradionecrose, entre outras. O objetivo do presente artigo foi evidenciar como ocorre o acometimento por cárie de radiação nos pacientes advindo do emprego de tratamento radioterápico antineoplásico na região de cabeça e pescoço. A cárie de radiação advém de alterações desfavoráveis do pH e da elevação do quantitativo de bactérias cariogênicas, que é oriundo ou provocado pelas sessões de radioterapia, levando ao aumento de biofilme dentário na porção cervical dos dentes, podendo ocasionar locais com dentina exposta. O motivo principal para que essas cáries instalem-se provém de modificações quantitativas e qualitativas da saliva. Convive-se com 3 tipos de cárie de radiação: tipo 1, tipo 2 e tipo 3. O tratamento da cárie de radiação envolve a realização de bochechos com soluções fluoretadas e a administração tópica de flúor gel neutro. O tratamento curativo emprega cimento de ionômero de vidro modificado por resina, o que permite liberação e reincorporação de flúor e pode ajudar frente ao processo de cárie. O cirurgião dentista deve possuir embasamento prévio e conscientizar-se acerca da possibilidade do acometimento pela cárie de radiação em pacientes que se submeteram a tratamento oncológico radioterápico.
