2010-08-31 Patients with cancer - RDH

Preexisting or untreated oral disease can complicate cancer treatment. The goals of dental care before cancer treatment are to provide early detection and diagnosis of premalignant and malignant disease, and to prepare the patient for cancer treatment by managing preexisting dental and mucosal diseases and instituting preventive programs. Problems such as supragingival or subgingival plaque and biofilm, periodontal disease, cracked/chipped teeth or restorations, crowns, implants, bridges, fixed or removable prostheses, orthodontics or other removable appliances can make therapy more difficult later on.
