Resume

Radiotherapy is an essential modality in the treatment of head and neck cancers; however, it frequently leads to severe oral complications such as mucositis, xerostomia, microbiome imbalance, and osteoradionecrosis. These conditions significantly impair patients’ nutrition, speech and overall quality of life. This article reviews current insights into the pathogenesis of radiation-induced oral tissue damage, modern diagnostic approaches, and innovative rehabilitation strategies. Additionally, preventive programs and multimodal therapeutic methods aimed at improving functional outcomes and enhancing patient quality of life are discussed.

Keywords:radiotherapy, dental rehabilitation, mucositis, xerostomia, osteoradionecrosis, head and neck cancer.
