The standard treatment for malignant neoplasia of the cervicofacial area is surgery in association with radio- and/or chemotherapy. These therapies can cause local and systemic complications. Mucositis is the most common dose-correlated complication to the oral cavity. It is particularly difficult to treat in patients who are already physically and psychologically exhausted by the tumoral pathology. This study illustrates, through a review of the literature, the attack rate, the pathogenesis and the clinical course of the mucositis, as well as the correct dental approach and clinical-therapeutic management of these patients, with the aim of improving the quality of their lives.
头面部恶性肿瘤的标准治疗方法是手术联合放疗和/或化疗。这些治疗可能会引起局部和全身并发症。口腔黏膜炎是口腔最常见的剂量相关性并发症。对于已经因肿瘤病变而身心疲惫的患者，治疗尤为困难。本研究通过文献综述，阐述了口腔黏膜炎的发病率、发病机制和临床过程，以及对这些患者正确的牙科处理和临床治疗管理，旨在提高他们的生活质量。
