A randomized controlled trial of telemedicine and e-health interventions for the management of oral complications in oncology patients undergoing antineoplastic therapy

1

Telemedicine significantly improved oral health outcomes in cancer patients undergoing antineoplastic therapy compared to standard care.
2

Patients using telehealth showed lower rates of mucosal lesions, gingival bleeding, and higher tooth-brushing frequency during treatment.
3

The study involved 105 patients with solid tumors, assessing oral health through clinical and radiographic evaluations.
4

Structured teledentistry monitoring was associated with enhanced oral self-care guidance and early-stage detection of complications.
5

Integration of dental care in oncology is essential for improving quality of life and treatment continuity for cancer patients.
