“…This can be explained by the fact that many patients should not and/or are unable to use the lower prosthesis because the mucous membranes, such as the tongue, do not tolerated the use of the prosthesis. ( 25 )…”

Objective To evaluate the oral health of patients with head and neck cancer after antineoplastic treatment, and to compare them with patients with no history of cancer.Methods A total of 75 patients, divided into Study Group, composed of individuals after antineoplastic treatment (n=30), and Control Group, with individuals with no history of cancer (n=45), aged 37 to 79 years. The oral health status was evaluated through the index of decayed, missing or filled permanent teeth (DMFT), community periodontal index and evaluation of the use and need of prosthesis. All of these items were evaluated according to the criteria recommended by the World Health Organization. The statistical analysis was descriptive and used the Pearson’s χ2 test.Results The community periodontal index was higher in the Study Group when compared to the Control Group (p<0.0001). The need for an upper (p<0.001) and lower (p<0.0001) prostheses was higher in the Study Group. Also, the use of upper prosthesis was higher in the Study Group (p<0.002). The missing or filled permanent teeth index between the two groups (p>0.0506) and the use of lower prosthesis (p>0.214) did not present a relevant statistical difference.Conclusion Periodontal disease and edentulism are the most significant changes in individuals who received antineoplastic therapy for head and neck cancer as well as greater need for oral rehabilitation.

“…Resection of the jawbone may cause problems with denture retention, especially the mandible, where a rim or segment resection only allows for a partial denture prosthesis that has little contribution to masticatory performance . Furthermore, postoperative radiotherapy causes xerostomia and atrophy of mucous membranes, which may lead to complete intolerance of mucosa‐bearing dentures . Patients receiving radiotherapy report more complications after denture placement, such as sore areas, ulcers, and sequestra .…”

“…10,11 Because of these limitations, many edentulous patients end up with less-than-optimal or no functional dentures; or upper dentures for aesthetic purposes only. 3,8 A common solution to increase retention and stability of full dentures is the placement of dental implants followed by the fabrication of an implant-retained overdenture (IOD). In healthy edentulous adults, the functional benefit of an IOD, especially in the mandible, has been well-documented.…”

PURPOSESquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue has a relatively high incidence of all oral cancers. Some studies have reported a relationship between intraoral dental prosthesis and SCC of the tongue; however, this relationship remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between SCC of the tongue and the positional aspects of dental prosthesis using a retrospective analysis.MATERIALS AND METHODSA total of 439 patients with SCC of the tongue were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Patients were treated over a 12.5-year period ranging from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2013. Statistical analysis was performed to examine potential differences between the groups.RESULTSThe number of patients with a crown and/or a bridge (134, 63.5%) was significantly different than the number of patients without a prosthesis (77, 36.5%). Even after accounting for different types of prostheses such as crowns, bridges, and dentures, no significant differences were observed between the position of the prosthesis and the location of the SCC of the tongue, with significance defined as a P-value less than .05 by the Pearson-Chi square test.CONCLUSIONPatients with crowns and/or bridges exhibited more frequent SCC of the tongue compared with patients without these prosthesis. These data support the hypothesis that mechanical trauma and galvanic phenomena play a role in the etiology of SCC of the tongue.
