Tratamento odontológico em pacientes oncológicos: relato de caso

Abstract

It is extremely important for the dental surgeon to know about the consequences that occur in the treatment of cancer in the head and neck region, which can occur during radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy sessions, directly affecting the patient's quality of life. The objective of this study was to report a clinical case of a cancer patient, after cancer treatment. After anamnesis, intra and extra oral exams, we adapted the environment, evaluated imaging exams, began by burying the lower residual roots and later carried out sequences with anatomical molding, functional molding, registration of intermaxillary relationships, selection of tooth color, testing of teeth mounted in wax, installation of prosthetics and post-installation control for monitoring and adjustments. Concluding that it is possible to restore function, quality of life and aesthetics to the patient after cancer treatment, even with its sequelae.
