Caries prevention for patients treated with radiation for cancer of the head and neck region (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syfte med litteraturstudien var att undersöka vilka metoder som finns för att förebygga karies hos patienter som har strålbehandlats mot cancer i huvud- halsområdet.Metod: En allmänlitteraturstudie utfördes genom att sammanställa 20 olika kvantitativa studier publicerade i databaserna PubMed och DOSS och som inkluderade huvud- halscancer patienter som strålbehandlas och skulle genomgå en strålningsinducerad kariesprevention.Resultat: Resultatet visade fem olika metoder för att förebygga strålningsinducerad karies som kariespreventionsprogram bestående av fler olika interventioner samt användning av olika preparat som till exempel tennfluorid, natriumfluorid, kalciumfosfat och amifostin.  De flesta metoderna ledde till statistiska signifikanta resultat i kariesreducering hos denna patientgrupp.Slutsats: Det finns få studier inom detta ämnesområde därför behövs mer forskning för att kunna erbjuda denna sårbara patientgrupp de bästa metoderna för att förebygga och undvika strålningsinducerad karies.

Abstract [en]

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate what methods are available to prevent caries in patients with radiotherapy for cancer of the head and neck area.Method: A general literature study was performed by compiling various quantitative studies published in the databases PubMed and DOSS and which included head and neck cancer patients being treated with radiation.Results: The results showed five different methods for preventing radiation-induced caries as a caries prevention program consisting of several different interventions and the use of various preparations such as tin fluoride, sodium fluoride, calcium phosphate and amifostine. Caries prevention programs consisted of various interventions; however, most programs gave statistically significant results in caries reduction in this patient group. Oral care programs can prevent radiation-induced caries.Conclusion: There are studies in this subject area, more research is needed to be able to guarantee that these patients get the best caries prevention.
