WHY ORAL CANCER SCREENING?
• Early detection can improve the patient's chances of
successful treatment
• Visual screening of the oral cavity has been widely evaluated
for its feasibility, safety, acceptability, accuracy in detecting
oral potentially malignant lesions and oral cancer, and efficacy
and cost-effectiveness in reducing oral cancer mortality*
• The purpose of screening is not only to detect oral cancer at
early stage but also to detect and manage patients with
OPMDs who are at risk for developing cancer**

12. Oral Medicine and Radiology
WHEN/WHO REQUIRES ??
• Self examination
• Report any changes, such as white/red
patches, lumps or sores
Every Month
• 40+ Age Group
• Tobacco and/or heavy alcohol Consumers
• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
• Family history of cancer
Yearly
• 20+ Age Group
Once in 3 years
13. Oral Medicine and Radiology
WHO SHOULD SCREEN?
• Self Examination
• By Health Professionals (Dentist)
15. Oral Medicine and Radiology
EXAMINATION BY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Dental community is the first line of defense in early detection of the oral
cancer
– “Opportunistic” cancer screenings
– Screen all the patients who visit their practices
– Responsibility
17. Oral Medicine and Radiology
Areas to be screened:
• Lymph nodes
• Lips and vestibule
• Buccal mucosa
• Gingivae
• Dorsal and ventral surfaces of the tongue
• Lateral borders of the tongue
• Hard and soft palate
• Oropharynx

CHAIR SIDE METHODS AND ADVANCEMENTS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF
ORAL CANCER:
Types Examples
Clinical Methods • Vital tissue staining
Cytopathology Examination
• Exfoliative cytology
• Brush Cytology/ Oral CDx
Visualization Adjuncts Tissue Auto
fluorescence
• VELscope
• In Vivo Confocal Microscopy
• Chemiluminescence (Vizilite)
Photo diagnosis
• Auto fluorescence Spectroscopy
• Fluorescence Photography

19. Oral Medicine and Radiology
ORAL CARE BEFORE ANTINEOPLASTIC THERAPY
• Complete dental examination and evaluation:
- Clinical examination of all oral and dental structures and palpation
- x- ray examination of teeth and supporting bony structures of the maxilla
and mandible
- Surgical removal of any remaining root tips or alveolar hyperplasia
• Criteria for pre- radiotherapy extractions of teeth :
- Caries (nonrestorable )
- Active periapical disease (symptomatic teeth )
- Moderate to severe periodontal disease
- Lack of opposing teeth ,compromised hygiene
- Partial impaction or incomplete eruption.
- Extensive periapical lesions (if not chronic or well localized )
20. Oral Medicine and Radiology
ORAL CARE DURING ANTINEOPLASTIC THERAPY
1. Dental Prophylaxis
2. Extensive hygiene instructions - brush training and adequate home care
maintenance
3. Custom made flexible mouthgaurds are fabricated from dental casts
4. Use of fluorides
5. Various mucosal guards and stents can be constructed as requested by
radiotherapist
6. Candida infection
7. Use of saliva substitutes should be encouraged to lubricate dried mucosal tissues
and decrease the chance of traumatic ulceration
8. Patients should be advised soft diet and cautioned to avoid spicy, acidic or
mechanically irritating foods
9. Good oral hygiene and daily fluoride use must be reinforced
10. Trismus prevention exercises should be reviewed
11. Denture wearing should be discouraged
21. Oral Medicine and Radiology
ORAL CARE AFTER ANTINEOPLASTIC THERAPY
• Recall once or twice during the first month followed by 3-4 month recall schedule
• Goal is to prevent radiation caries and periodontal disease, decrease the risk of
development of osteoradionecrosis and manage some of the chronic side effects
such as xerostomia
1. Oral mucosa: examined for irritation or ulceration
2. Adherence to oral hygiene and fluoride protocol needs to be reinforced
3. The interarch distance should be measured
4. Encourage to continue jaw opening excercises and physiotherapy (prevent
trismus)
5. Check for calculus and areas of demineralization or caries
6. Gentle scaling and root planning and polishing can be performed
7. Carious lesions and areas of demineralization need to be treated immediately
8. Post radiation extractions must be performed with careful handling of soft
tissues, alveolectomies, primary wound closure and antibiotic coverage
9. High risk of developing osteoradionecrosis: hyperbaric oxygen pre/post
operatively

HOW TO DO?
DENTAL CARE BEFORE(DENTAL CLEARANCE), DURING AND AFTER ANTINEOPLASTIC RADIATION THERAPY
WHY?
WHAT IS DONE?
FACE - Look for swellings you have not noticed before andinspect your skin. Turn your head from side to side, stretchingthe skin over the muscles making lumps easier to see.
2. NECK - Run your fingers under your jaw and feel either side ofyour neck. Are there any swellings?
3. LIPS - Pull your upper lip upwards and bottom lip downwards.
Look inside for any sores or changes in colour.
4. GUMS - Examine your gums feeling around the gum for
anything unusual.
5. CHEEKS - Open your mouth and pull your cheek away one side
at a time. Look for any red or white patches. Check for ulcers,
lumps or tenderness.
6. TONGUE - Gently pull out your tongue and examine one side
then the other. Look for swellings, ulcers or changes in colour.
Examine the underside of your tongue.
