Objective: to analyze the effects of ionizing radiation on the oral cavity during and after exposure. Method: Descriptive documentary. Conclusion: Radiotherapy in the oral cavity presents significant challenges that require multidisciplinary attention and effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. Acute oral mucositis, persistent xerostomia and osteoradionecrosis are just some of the complications that can arise during and after treatment. However, through close collaboration between dentists and oncologists, together with ongoing patient education and innovative research, it is possible to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life for those facing this challenge. The identification of predictive biomarkers and the development of personalized therapies may pave the way towards more effective management of the adverse effects of radiotherapy in the oral cavity, thus providing comprehensive, patient-centred care.
