Abstract
The promotion of oral health is essential for excellent care support for older people with cancer. Educational, preventive and interventional measures based on interdisciplinary planning, with a focus on oral health, minimize the direct and indirect effects of antineoplastic treatment. This non-systematic review aims to address clinical guidelines and the dentist's performance in the treatment of older persons with cancer (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, oral cancer and palliative care), contributing with clinical guidelines and information to oncologists and the multidisciplinary team. The effective participation of the dentist in assisting the aging adult with cancer is very important, with the main focus on adapting the oral cavity and minimizing the effects of antineoplastic treatment on systemic health and quality of life.
