[Prevention of oral mucositis in head and neck irradiation].
Head-neck irradiation is associated with oral complications. During the irradiation period patients are most burdened by mucositis. Changes of the oral flora with colonisation with the more pathogenic aerobic Gram-negative bacilli seems crucial in the development and severity of mucositis. Prevention of mucositis is reported to be successful during selective oral flora elimination.
