“…There are two possibilities are postulated to cause oral mucositis; direct and indirect. 13,14 Direct mucositis is directly caused by toxicity. Because of having high turnover rate of oral mucosa they are susceptible to the cytotoxic effect of radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT).…”

Breast cancer is one of the widespread diseases all over the world. Breast cancer is the leading variant of cancer among females. Oral diseases are potentially thought to be relevant to systemic disease. Surgical approaches lumpectomy, partial mastectomy along with post surgical radiotherapy (RT) or chemotherapy (CT) is the mainstream gold standard treatment of breast cancer. But unfortunately RT/CT comes with some unavoidable stomatological complications especially in post menopausal age. There are many studies found some definite oral complications during the treatment periods of breast cancer therapy like sore mouth, mucositis, salivary gland dysfunctions, dysguesia, dysesthesia, cervical caries, periodontitis, alveolar bone loss, opportunistic infections, and osteoradionecrosis etc. Obtained from present knowledge available, different oral complications are discussed like proper oral hygiene (both professional and domiciliary), pretreatment prophylaxis, appropria te diet, periodontal check up, fluoride varnish, salivary substitutes which minimize the chance to develop complications. Certain measures are to be taken at pretreatment and post treatment sessions in order to prevent possible complications. We will try to discuss the possible oral complications and way outs in the article.

“…For hormone receptor positive tumors, the American Cancer Society recommends the use of antiestrogen therapy for ve to ten years, with tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors (AIs) to reduce the risk of the recurrence and improve overall survival [8]. However, therapies for BC are associated with acute or late-onset oral complications, such as mucositis, pain, xerostomia, dental caries, osteoradionecrosis, changes in periodontal tissues, oral lesions, neurosensory changes and changes in the sense of taste [9,10]. Such dental problems have a negative impact on oral health-related quality of life in this population [11].…”

Investigate the effect of tamoxifen on the occurrence of tooth loss (TL) in breast cancer (BC) survivors. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 140 BC survivors using tamoxifen therapy.Sociodemographic, medical and dental data were evaluated. TL was determined using the M component of the Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index. Logistic regression models were run to determine associations between the independent variables and outcome (TL). ResultsMean TL was 12.96 (SD 8.88). Only three participants had lost no teeth and 10.7% were completely edentulous. Participants who used tamoxifen for more than 1 year had a higher mean missing teeth (13.99 vs. 10.45; P = 0.030). After the adjustments, the occurrence of more than 12 missing teeth was 2.75-fold higher among women who used tamoxifen for more than 1 year (95% CI: 1.06-7.12). Moreover, age over 65 years, referral for treatment by the public healthcare system, less use of dental services, xerostomia and a lower occurrence of dental caries remained associated with the loss of more than 12 teeth. ConclusionLonger use of tamoxifen was associated with greater tooth loss in breast cancer survivors. Clinical relevance:Based on estimates of the increase in cases of breast cancer, the prolonged use of tamoxifen for the treatment of this disease can exert an impact on oral health through the occurrence of tooth loss. These ndings can contribute to the planning and implementation of oral health care and prevention strategies for such patients.
