Abstract
Recent research indicates that xerostomia caused by irradiation of the salivary glands causes rampant caries by inducing a soft sucrose rich diet in this group of patients and by reduction of the buffer capacity and volume of the secretion. Whereas total extraction of the teeth before the irradiation started was previously the normal procedure in these patients, the teeth now can be maintained by very simple and inexpensive prophylactic measures, involving use of a gel containing 1% of soldium fluoride for 5 minutes once daily.
