This report details a 78-year-old man with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip who underwent surgery, reconstruction, and radiotherapy, with support from the dental team throughout all stages of treatment. The patient had residual root and caries, identified prior to oncological treatment. However, due to microstomia, a conservative approach was chosen to preserve the teeth. During radiotherapy, the patient received photobiomodulation for oral mucositis and analgesia. Following treatment, the patient maintained regular dental follow-ups for years and underwent various dental procedures. After four years, an alveolar ridge ulcer was identified, and a biopsy was performed, revealing no malignancy. This report underscores the significance of a comprehensive and expedient dental approach before cancer treatment to address any oral conditions that might disrupt its continuity. It also underscores the pivotal role of dental surgeons in multidisciplinary teams during and after cancer treatment to enhance the patient's quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
