Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dental rehabilitation in oral cancer patients is essential for good oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Patient-specific dental implants are suitable for treating tumor-related bony defects, resulting in satisfactory OHRQoL. However, knowledge concerning the clinical outcome and OHRQoL following tumor irradiation is lacking. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was carried out to evaluate clinical outcomes and OHRQoL in eight patients who received patient-specific dental implants and implant-supported dentures after surgical treatment for oral cancer with additional irradiation. OHRQoL assessment was performed using the German long version of the oral health impact profile (OHIP) questionnaire (OHIP-G53). RESULTS Clinical examination revealed successful dental rehabilitation in all the patients with only minor impairments. Restricted stability and function of implants were not observed. OHIP sum-scores of all the patients indicated acceptable OHRQoL, but this varied between patients treated in the upper or lower jaw. Single-item sum-scores concerning the adverse events "difficulty in chewing," "food catching," "sore jaw," "sore spots," and "unclear speech" were detected to be the worst, and pain-related OHIP dimensions demonstrated the highest scores (followed by functional limitation, physical disability, and psychosocial impact) with a worse OHRQoL following lower jaw treatment. Other dimension sum-scores were overall lower and nearly equally distributed in patients. CONCLUSIONS Dental rehabilitation of irradiated oral cancer patients using patient-specific dental implants may be suitable, leading to acceptable OHRQoL. However, implant insertion in the upper jaw seems to be more favorable. Further studies on patient-specific dental implants are warranted to validate the current results.

Pathways for the rehabilitation of resection defects in the maxilla. Br Dent J 2022; 232:783-789. [PMID: 35689055 DOI: 10.1038/s41415-022-4342-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Oral rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients is an integral component of the care pathway. Maxillectomy procedures can cause significant defects, such as oronasal fistulas, loss of support for the cheek and lip, aesthetic defects in the middle third of the face and functional impairments. Orofacial rehabilitation plays a fundamental role in restoring aesthetics and functional capabilities, such as speech, mastication and deglutition.Rehabilitation of maxillectomy patients poses a challenge for both clinicians and patients. This paper utilises case examples to demonstrate the treatment options for the oral rehabilitation of these patients. We will summarise the treatment pathways for conventional obturators, delayed (secondary) implant retained fixed rehabilitation following composite free flap and early rehabilitation using a zygomatic implant perforated flap technique. This paper aims to highlight the challenges in treatment planning and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Surgery is the current first choice for oral cancer treatment. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, molecular targeted drugs, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are still used as adjuvant therapy for advanced cancer. In addition, postoperative rehabilitation and multidisciplinary treatment have also been developed in recent years. Multidisciplinary team approaches and supportive care in oral cancer treatment reportedly shorten the time to treatment and improve outcomes. Although there is enough evidence confirming the role of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, dentists, and dental hygienists in supportive care in oral cancer treatment, there are very few systematic studies. In particular, oral health management is a concept that encompasses oral function management, oral hygiene management, and oral care during oral cancer treatment. We provide a narrative review focusing on oral health management from a multidisciplinary and supportive care perspective, applicable in oral cancer treatment.

Effect of Different Repair and Reconstruction Methods Combined with Psychological Intervention on Quality of Life and Negative Emotion in Patients with Oral Cancer. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:7359584. [PMID: 35572838 PMCID: PMC9106514 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7359584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective. To explore the effects of different repair and reconstruction methods combined with psychological intervention on the quality of life and negative emotion of patients with oral cancer. Methods. 180 patients with oral cancer treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were randomly divided into group A, group B, and group C, with 60 cases in each group. Group A and group B were repaired with submental island flap and free flap, respectively. Group C was divided into two groups, and group C was treated with routine nursing intervention. Group A and group B received psychological intervention. Clinical symptom scores, complication rate (CR), quality of life (according to the University of Washington quality of life questionnaire, UW-QOL), and negative emotion scores were compared. Results. After intervention, the clinical symptom scores and negative emotion scores of groups A and B were lower than those of group C (
), as well as the CR (
), and the UW-QOL scores of groups A and B were higher than those of group C (
), but no significant differences in these aspects were presented between group A and group B (
). The main factors affecting quality of life were swallowing/chewing, language, and saliva in group A; swallowing/chewing, language, and taste in group B; and appearance, swallowing/chewing, emotion, and language in group C. Conclusion. Psychological intervention can improve the mental state of patients with oral cancer after operation, optimize the effect of operation, and improve the quality of life. As the effect of psychological intervention on patients undergoing different repair and reconstruction methods is similar, it should be given according to patients’ actual condition in the clinic.

Photodynamic therapy mediated by nanoparticles Aluminum Chloro Phthalocyanine in oral squamous carcinoma cells. Lasers Med Sci 2022; 37:2509-2516. [PMID: 35119554 DOI: 10.1007/s10103-022-03517-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the antineoplastic potential of photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by an aluminum-phthalocyanine chloride nanoemulsion (AlPc-NE), against an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line in vitro. Both OSCC (SCC9) and A431 cell lines were studied in vitro. Four study groups were used: Group 1 (phosphate-buffered saline [PBS]), Group 2 (PBS + 28.3 J/cm2 irradiation), Group 3 (AlPc-NE alone), and Group 4 (AlPc-NE + 28.3 J/cm2 irradiation). To test the effect of PDT with AlPc-NE, cell viability, migration, and cell death assays were performed. Moreover, the expressions of Ki-67 and TP53 were evaluated using immunoassays. The results showed that PDT mediated by all AlPc-NE concentrations evaluated (i.e., 0.7, 0.35, and 0.17 nM AlPc) significantly reduced the viability of SCC9 cells. Migration and cell death assays also revealed that PDT with AlPc-NE significantly reduced the rate of migration and increased cell death compared to the control groups. In addition, it was found that PDT with AlPc-NE reduced Ki-67 and mutated TP53 immunoexpression. PDT with AlPc-NE is effective in reducing the viability and migration of SCC9. Moreover, PDT with AlPc-NE nanoemulsions reduces the cell proliferation and expression of mutant TP53.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Surgical resection of the maxilla impairs aesthetics, speech, swallowing, and mastication. Maxillary reconstruction is increasingly performed with virtual surgical planning (VSP) to enhance functional dental rehabilitation with a conventional denture or osseointegrated implants. The aim of this study was to determine whether dental status and VSP is associated with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and function in patients who have undergone maxillectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients who underwent free flap reconstruction or obturation of the maxilla between July 2009 and December 2020. The FACE-Q Head and Neck Cancer (FACE-Q) module, M.D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), and Speech Handicap Index (SHI) were used to evaluate HRQOL. RESULTS Forty-three patients (response rate 59%) completed questionnaires and 48% underwent dental rehabilitation. In Okay Class II and III defects, adjusting for the effect of radiotherapy and time from surgery, there was a positive association between denture status and FACE-Q smiling (p = 0.020), eating (p = 0.012), smiling (p = 0.015), and MDADI global (p = 0.015), emotional (p = 0.027), functional (p = 0.028), and composite (p = 0.029) scores. VSP was associated with FACE-Q swallowing (p = 0.005), drooling (p = 0.030), eating (p = 0.008), smiling (p = 0.021), MDADI global (p = 0.017), emotional (p = 0.041), functional (p = 0.040), composite (p = 0.038), and SHI total scores (p = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS Dentoalveolar rehabilitation and VSP were associated with higher HRQOL scores relating to eating and drinking, smiling, and speaking.

Development of a Subjective Symptom Rating Scale for Postoperative Oral Dysfunction in Patients with Oral Cancer: Reliability and Validity of the Postoperative Oral Dysfunction Scale-10. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11112061.

Abstract
Currently, there is no scale to subjectively assess postoperative oral dysfunction in patients with oral cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Postoperative Oral Dysfunction Scale (POD-10) that we developed. Between September 2019 and August 2021, 62 eligible oral cancer patients (median age, 72 years; 42 men and 20 women) were enrolled in the study. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, which indicates the internal consistency of the scale, was 0.94, and the intraclass correlation coefficient, which indicates reproducibility, was 0.85 (95% confidential interval: 0.40–0.96, p < 0.05). Concurrent validity testing showed a statistically significant correlation between POD-10 and Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) (r = 0.89, p < 0.05). To test discriminant validity, statistically significant differences were found between early-stage cancer (stage I and II) and advanced-stage cancer (stage III and IV) (p < 0.05). Twenty-four points were calculated as the cutoff value for POD-10 using receiver operating characteristic analysis to calculate the cutoff value. The POD-10 was shown to be a clinically reliable and valid scale that can be used to subjectively assess postoperative oral dysfunction in patients with oral cancer and is expected to be used as a simple diagnostic tool.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oral cancer resection can cause physical and psychological impairments that influence the quality of life (QoL). Depending on the postoperative time-distance, the occurrence and intensity of these impairments may change. We evaluated the sequelae and changes in therapy-related impairments during the postoperative course to detect associations between the time since surgery and the presence of disorders. METHODS Data from a questionnaire completed by 1359 patients who underwent surgical treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma and were involved in a multicenter rehabilitation study of the German-Austrian-Swiss Cooperative Group on Tumors of the Maxillofacial Region (DÖSAK) that included 43 oral and maxillofacial clinics in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Physical impairments, including those in appearance, mouth opening ability, ability to smell, gastric disorders, mandible mobility, breathing, and shoulder/arm mobility, were significantly associated with and increased with time-distance since surgery. Esthetic appearance most strongly correlated with the highest perception of worsening. Regarding psychological disorders, worry about tumor recurrence, depression, and worse prospects were significantly associated. Among the postoperative sequelae, fear of tumor recurrence decreased continuously; however, depression and worse prospects increased. The general QoL did not significantly differ overall during the postoperative course. CONCLUSIONS Therapy-related impairments change during the postoperative course based on the time-distance since surgery. The general QoL may not markedly vary; however, single impairments, to some extent, can increase or decrease. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Continuous adaptation of supportive cancer therapy is required during follow-up to sufficiently address individual treatment needs.

Abstract
Tissue injuries in the oral and maxillofacial structures secondary to trauma, warfare, ablative cancer, and benign tumor surgery result in significant losses of speech, masticatory and swallowing functions, aesthetic deformities, and overall psychological stressors and compromise. Optimal oral rehabilitation remains a formidable challenge and an unmet clinical need due to the influence of multiple factors related to the physiologic limitations of tissue repair, the lack of site and function-specific donor tissues and constructs, and an integrated team of multidisciplinary professionals. The advancements in stem cell biology, biomaterial science, and tissue engineering technologies, particularly the 3-dimensional bioprinting technology, together with digital imaging and computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies, have paved the path for personalized/precision regenerative medicine. At the University of Pennsylvania, we have launched the initiative to integrate multidisciplinary health professionals and translational/clinical scientists in medicine, dentistry, stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine to develop a comprehensive, patient-centered approach for precision and personalized reconstruction, as well as oral rehabilitation of patients sustaining orofacial tissue injuries and defects, especially oral cancer patients.
