Hello every1,
I was referred a pt to have a dental clearance before having radiation to the area of the brain just above the cribiform plate. I understand that any teeth that have a questionable px or advanced perio should be prophylacticly ext'ed. That said, is there any literature/publications, or existing protocol on what teeth to ext that appear within normal limits before radiation, that take in consideration the dosage and directions of the beams/fields of radiation?
thanks,
Rambo
