Dental Management of Patients Who Have Undergone Oral Cancer Therapy

Course overview

Cancer patients have a high risk of oral complications due to chemotherapy and radiation. These therapies upset the healthy balance of bacteria in the mouth, and cause changes in the lining of the mouth and the salivary glands. This intermediate-level course reviews the complications seen in the oral cavity associated with oral cancer therapies and how to help patients mitigate these complications. This information will help the practitioner provide up to date care for their patients undergoing oral cancer treatment.
