Oral Care and Palliative Dentistry at Home in Post-Operative Oral Cancer to Improve Quality of Life - A Review

Palliative care dentistry is the management of patients with active, progressive, advanced disease in whom the oral cavity has been compromised by the primary disease or by its treatment.

Conclusion: This review highlights the oral care at home in post-op oral cancer patients with future research implications in Palliative Dentistry.
