Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The outcome measures would be recorded depending on the evaluation of healing (soft tissue and bone healing) after dental extractions in patients who have undergone RT the for HNC.Timepoint: Evaluation of healing would be conducted at 3 months (baseline), 6 months and 12 months?aligned with the patient?s scheduled oncology follow-up visits?to assess healing at the extraction site and identify any potential complications.
