Unlabelled: Hyposalivation and sensation of dry mouth (xerostomia) are one of the most common adverse effects in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer.
Objective: This study evaluates the prevalence of late hyposalivation and associated factors in survivors of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx treated with radiotherapy with or without concomitant chemotherapy.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 88 patients who had concluded radiotherapy at least three months before the study, at a referral center for the treatment of head and neck cancer in the Southern region of Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the sense of coherence (SOC) relates to quality of life (QoL) among survivors of various head and neck cancers.
- A total of 90 cancer patients from a Brazilian hospital completed quality of life assessments and SOC measurements, revealing that those with higher SOC scores reported better QoL.
- Clinical factors like advanced cancer stage and specific oral conditions negatively impacted QoL, emphasizing the need to consider psychosocial aspects in patient care.
Background: Factors related to head and neck cancer and the treatment of the disease can affect quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with the severity of impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in survivors of head and neck cancer using a multivariate analysis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 90 volunteers who had completed radiotherapy at least 3 months earlier.
Objective: The present cross-sectional study evaluated the quality of life of patients treated with 3-D conformal radiotherapy for cancer of the mouth, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx and investigated possible associations with clinical and sociodemographic variables using multivariate analysis.
Methods: The sample was composed of 90 patients who had completed treatment at least 3 months earlier. Data were collected from April 2016 to May 2017.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between trismus and other radiation-associated conditions with dysphagia-related quality of life in patients who have undergone radiotherapy of the head and neck.
Study Design: This cross-sectional study included 88 patients who had squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx and had been treated with 3-dimensional (3-D) conformal radiotherapy, which had been completed at least 3 months earlier. Clinical data were obtained from medical records.
Purpose: To systematically review the literature on laboratory studies to determine whether the bond strength of adhesives to primary teeth is similar to that to permanent teeth.
Materials And Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42014015160). A comprehensive literature search was conducted considering in vitro studies published up to June 2015 in the PubMed/MEDLINE database, with no limit on year of publication.
