The Role of Dental Oncology in Cancer Care: a Critical Component of Comprehensive Treatment, Education, and Interdisciplinary Collaboration- a Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dental oncology, a vital branch of special care dentistry, addresses the oral health needs of patients undergoing cancer treatment. This narrative review explores the critical role of dentists specializing in cancer care, known as "onco-dentists," in managing the unique oral complications caused by cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. These treatments often lead to a range of oral health issues, such as mucositis, xerostomia, dental caries, periodontal disease, and trismus, significantly impacting a patient's quality of life and potentially disrupting cancer care. By providing tailored preventive and therapeutic interventions, onco-dentists enhance treatment outcomes and improve overall patient well-being. Furthermore, their collaboration with oncologists and other healthcare professionals promotes integrated care plans that address both cancer treatment and oral health management, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to patient care. This review aims to highlight the multifaceted role of onco-dentists, the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration, and the necessity of proactive oral health management in comprehensive cancer care. Moreover, the review underscores the importance of education at multiple levels-integrating dental oncology into medical and dental curricula, raising public awareness, and providing patient education to empower individuals in managing their oral health during cancer treatment.
