Resumo: Objective: To evaluate the main oral complications and their relationship with dental care prior to radiotherapy (RT) in the stomatology unity in a hospital in the south of Brazil. Study Design: This is a retrospective cross-sectional analytical study focusing on the assessment of medical records of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) that underwent to RT following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Oral toxicities, dental treatment prior to RT, demographic and clinical features were some of the data evaluated for descriptive and comparative analysis. Results: Squamous cell carcinoma was the main diagnosis and in the advanced stages (67.9%). Oral toxicities were observed in 94.7% of patients treated with RT. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN), oral mucositis, candidiasis and xerostomia were the main complications. Patients who received 2D RT had higher risk of developing ORN and xerostomia when compared to those who received 3D RT. The risk of developing ORN was higher in smokers compared to non-smokers and it was also higher in patients who had not previously consulted a dentist. Conclusion: This study evidenced that patients who underwent RT for HNC have a high prevalence of oral complications. Dentists are crucial for the management of these oral toxicities in the hospital setting.
