Resumo:
The patient undergoing oncological treatment through radiotherapy and / or chemotherapy
treatment can apresent some kind of oral sequela due to the lack of therapeutic specificities of
the neoplastic cells. 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.
