Thus, it is essential to follow it before, during and after dental procedures for the adequacy and maintenance of the oral condition. Faced with this, endodontic treatment became an alternative with great success in the prevention of osteorradionecrosis, determined the exposure in 50% of the hypotheses by the exodontia. This study was carried out from 2017 to May 2018 by reviewing the literature of scientific articles in the databases SciELO, PubMed and Google academic in which they were isolated on the database. It was verified in the literature that some authors continued to have an existence of exodontia throughout the neoplastic time so that this element does not come to be source of infection. However, the predominantly defended the careful and cautious endodontic therapy in detriment of dentary extraction, especially in the post-radiotherapy period because it eliminated the source of the infection, by ensure eliminate the infecctive, maintain mucosa and periodonto with the quality of life of life. Therefore, the inclusion of the dental surgeon in the hospital environment is fundamental for the non-accomplishment of the patient's disease, as well as the knowledge for the endodontic technique for the sanification of the root canals and the prevention of osteorradionecrosis.
