Peculiarities of endodontic treatment of chronic symptomatic periodontitis on oncological disease and chemotherapy

Abstract

Providing dental care to cancer patients has been and remains very relevant. Studies of the oral cavity in this category of patients have found a high prevalence of dental disease and, as a consequence, a significant need for dental care. Chemotherapy can cause complications such as stomatitis, mucositis, exacerbation of chronic pulpitis, and periodontitis. Patients with an unsanctioned oral cavity run the risk of developing these complications, unlike patients who regularly visit the dentist. The aim of our work was to study the features of endodontic treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms receiving chemotherapy treatment and to confirm the use of atraumatic and conservative methods of treatment of periapical inflammatory processes. The results obtained confirm that the elimination of infection in the root canal of the teeth leads to the regeneration of periapical lesions of bone tissue. The size of the lesion does not affect the tactics of treatment.
