Despite advances in radiation therapy (RT) techniques for the treatment of head and neck cancers, patients with head and neck cancers continue to be at risk of oral and dental complications after surgery or RT because of treatment-induced xerostomia and salivary gland dysfunction, which are associated with increased dental caries.
Advances in Head and Neck Cancers: Nasopharyngeal and Oral Cancers

Managing and preventing sequelae following surgery, radiation therapy (RT), and systemic therapy (e.g., trismus, pain, lymphedema and muscle spasm of the neck, xerostomia, dysphagia, speech and swallowing problems, dental and jaw decay, depression, peripheral neuropathy, hearing loss, renal failure) requires professionals familiar with head and neck cancers. Limited data are available comparing the efficacy of different chemoradiotherapy regimens for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Immunotherapy options for recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer is a rapidly evolving area of research.

Multiple dental issues can arise for patients with cancer throughout the continuum of cancer therapy. Clinicians must be familiar with the potential complications that can arise in the oral cavity from cancer treatment modalities in order to assist in the prevention and treatment of dental toxicities.
