Cervical radiotherapy may leads to elevated caries risk in Hodgkin-lymphoma (HL) patients. Our aim was to estimate the late effect of cervical irradiation on periodontal status in HL patients. Patients filled out query-form, their clinical data were collected, periodontal status was examined, decayed-missing-filled-teeth and periodontal-indexes were calculated. We examined 68 patients who received, 64 patients who did not received cervical radiotherapy and 51 control person. 23.5% of cervical irradiated, 18.15% of not irradiated patients and 17.64% of controls had subjective xerostomia, but it was not objective by sialometry. Mean decayed-missing-filled-teeth-index was 22.53 among irradiated, 21.54 among not irradiated patients while it was 17.23 in control group. Periodontal index was 2.47, 2.42, and 2.14 in different groups. Difference between decayed-missing-filled-teeth indexes of irradiated patients and controls was significant. We have to emphasize the importance of prevention and closer dental observation of HL patients.
颈部放疗可能会增加霍奇金淋巴瘤(HL)患者的龋齿风险。我们的目的是评估颈部放疗对HL患者牙周状况的远期影响。患者填写问卷,收集其临床数据,检查牙周状况,计算龋失补牙数和牙周指数。我们检查了68例接受颈部放疗的患者、64例未接受颈部放疗的患者和51名对照者。23.5%接受颈部放疗的患者、18.15%未接受放疗的患者和17.64%的对照者有主观口干,但唾液测量未证实存在客观口干。接受放疗患者的平均龋失补牙数为22.53,未接受放疗患者为21.54,而对照组为17.23。不同组的牙周指数分别为2.47、2.42和2.14。接受放疗患者与对照者的龋失补牙数差异有统计学意义。我们必须强调HL患者预防和密切牙科观察的重要性。
