Abstract
Background: Risk habits (smoking, drinking) and oral hygiene have been reported to contribute to the exacerbation of radiation-induced oral mucositis. Objective: To determine whether there is a relationship between risk habits, oral hygiene status, and the effectiveness of radiation-induced oral mucositis treatment.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial study was conducted on head and neck cancer patients from Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital from 10/2022 - 06/2023, evaluating the relationship between the effectiveness of radiation induced-oral mucositis treatment of 2 groups of patients using PVP-I 1% in combination with honey and PVP-I 1% alone, with risk habits and oral hygiene status.
Results: There was no relationship between the time of onset and the level of radiation-induced oral mucositis and smoking, drinking, or oral hygiene status. At the end of radiotherapy, there was no association between the effectiveness of radiation-induced oral mucositis treatment and smoking, drinking habits, oral hygiene status, smoking duration, and alcohol consumption level (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Smoking, drinking habits, and oral hygiene status may not affect the effectiveness of radiation-induced oral mucositis treatment.
