[Stomatologic aspects of radiotherapy of head and neck tumors].
Therapeutic x-irradiation of the oral cavity and the oropharynx is associated with tissue reactions and complications. From dentists view the most important are radiation-induced tooth decay and periodontal disease, xerostomia and osteoradionecrosis from postradiation therapy extractions. In the paper are discussed radiobiological basis for oral cavity tissue reactions and pathophysiology of secondary complications. Finally, recommendations for prevention of oral complications and dental care are given.
