Abstract
Patients with HNC treated with modern RT techniques have a lower risk of developing hyposalivation, particularly if the QUANTEC guidelines are met, which also may result in decreased dental caries, tooth extractions, and postextraction osteoradionecrosis. Management of HNC requires a multidisciplinary team, including dentists and radiation oncologists.
