Abstract

Oral cancer is a multifactorial disease of unknown origin, which affects millions of people in the world. Its attention and treatment must be carried out in multidisciplinary teams, since it becomes complex for the dental professional to carry out its management independently. This motivated the realization of the present investigation with the objective of describing the main risks and complications in patients with oral cancer. To do this, an exhaustive bibliographic review was carried out based on national and international literature, using different descriptors in English and Spanish. The previous experience of the author was taken into account. Then a critical analysis was carried out, where the main risks and complications that can occur in these patients were compiled. Dissimilar conditions and the scope of the therapeutic procedures carried out in these patients with oral cancer were illustrated. The content was organized by anatomical regions and surgical treatments. It exposes in a structured and schematic way several of the complications that can occur in these procedures. At the end of the investigation, it is concluded that there are multiple complications and risks to which these patients are exposed, causing functional, mechanical, aesthetic, psychological and nutritional alterations.
