Résumé
The treatment by irradiation of tumours of the upper head and neck tract cause many complications on the oral sphere, such as mucositis, dysphagia, asialia and tooth decay. Associated manifestations are frequent and their severity has been poorly studied. However, the patient's quality of life is directly correlated with their oral health.
