“…Patients with head and neck cancers may be treated with surgical resection, external beam radiotherapy and/or brachytherapy, and systemic drugs (chemotherapy and/or targeted agents), depending on the location, stage, and histology of the tumor and the clinical condition of each patient [2,4]. Treatments may be provided as single modality for early stage, localized disease, or more commonly, due to late stage diagnosis, using combined modalities of care [2,[5][6][7].…”

“…Considering onset, duration, and nature of the cancer therapy, and the patients' oral and dental needs, dental treatment should be planned at the time of cancer diagnosis and before initiation of therapy (Table 1) [1,2,4,7,9,23,56,60,63,64]. This plan should include oral hygiene instruction, as well as necessary dental and/or surgical interventions to minimize imminent risk of infection and pain and to address future risk of dental disease.…”

“…Em nosso estudo, foram observadas diferenças significantes no número de dentes perdidos entre os grupos C e T2 [6,800 ± 3,831 (0-18) (ZHENG et al, 1990;MARSHALL et al, 1992;VELLY et al, 1998;MORENO-LOPEZ et al, 2000;TALAMINI et al, 2000;NARAYAN et al, 2014) A radiação é responsável por mudanças quantitativas e qualitativas na saliva e no fluido crevicular, reduzindo a circulação de imunoglobulinas, debilitando a resposta imune do hospedeiro, promovendo mudanças vasculares, decrescendo a capacidade de reparo do periodonto e favorecendo o acúmulo de placa (BUENO et al, 2013;MIZUTANI et al, 2015). Visto que a maioria dos pacientes submetidos a um regime radioterápico em cabeça e pescoço pode desenvolver algum quadro de hipossalivação, este cenário merece consideração.…”

“…No entanto, com um acompanhamento profissional regular associado à motivação do paciente, é possível um controle da placa. Bueno et al (2013) obtiveram uma redução significante neste índice entre o exame inicial e 180 dias após a radioterapia ao instituir um protocolo de manutenção (83% vs. 28%).…”
