title: Reimbursement for the oral health care of cancer patients.
abstract: Oral conditions related to cancer therapy, which are largely preventable, continue to result in considerable morbidity, dysfunction and lost quality of life. Therefore, it is important for dentists to be knowledgeable about the problems of reimbursement for the oral health care of cancer patients and become involved in the issue of access to oral health care for cancer patients.
