Dosimetric Parameters Predicting Tooth Loss after Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Tumors

Dosimetric Parameters Predicting Tooth Loss after Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Tumors

Background: Tooth loss reduces quality of life; however, little is known about tooth loss caused by carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT). Here, we aimed to elucidate the incidence of tooth loss post-CIRT for head and neck tumors and to identify risk-predictive dosimetric parameters. Methods: This study en...
