Abstract:
Radiation-related caries is a common complication following head and neck tumor radiotherapy. It is a rapidly progressing and widespread destructive disease of tooth tissue after radiotherapy, which greatly affects the life quality of patients after radiotherapy. This article elucidates research progress in the pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis and caries assessment, treatment, as well as prevention strategies for radiation-related caries, aiming to provide references for clinical prevention and treatment of radiation-related caries.
