Abstract

Radiation caries is a common clinical finding in patients who receive therapeutic radiation for head and neck carcinomas. Radiotherapy induced effects are most commonly seen in the oral mucosa, salivary glands, bone, teeth, and muscles of head and neck. Radiotherapy given for head and neck carcinomas cause salivary gland dysfunction and xerostomia which will further increase the risk for dental caries. There is rampant destruction of teeth, involving all surfaces. Here we present a case report of a patient with radiation caries after treatment for mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland.

Abstract

Radyasyon çürüğü, baş boyun kanserlerinde terapötik radyasyon uygulanan hastalarda sık görülen bir klinik bulgudur. Radyoterapiye bağlı etkiler en çok oral mukoza, tükrük bezleri, kemik, dişler ile baş ve boyun kaslarında görülür. Baş-boyun kanserleri için verilen radyoterapi, tükrük bezi disfonksiyonuna ve ağız kuruluğuna (kserostomi) neden olarak diş çürüğü riskini daha da arttırarak dişlerin tüm yüzeylerini kapsayan yaygın bir tahribata yol açar. Burada, parotis bezi mukoepidermoid karsinomu tedavisi sonrası radyasyon çürükleri olan bir hastanın olgusu aktarılmıştır.
