These issues can negatively impact quality of life by affecting essential functions such as eating, speaking and maintaining oral hygiene. This cross\u2010sectional observational study aimed to assess the prevalence, severity and impact of oral health problems in cancer survivors treated in the past 1\u20135 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The study included a total of 47 patients, aged 24 to 71 years, who were recruited from the European University Dental Clinic (EU\u2010Dent) in Tbilisi, Georgia. Participants were evaluated using structured questionnaires and clinical examinations. Tools such as the WHO Oral Health Questionnaire and EORTC QLQ\u2010OH15 were used to assess self\u2010reported oral health and quality\u2010of\u2010life outcomes. The findings revealed moderate levels of untreated dental caries (DT index: 2.04 \u00b1 2.43), periodontal issues (CPI: 1.44 \u00b1 1.19) and oral mucosal lesions in a subset of patients. Although the majority reported mild to moderate symptoms, significant gaps in preventive care and oral health education were identified, with only 19% of participants receiving information about potential oral health problems related to cancer treatments. Approximately 55% of participants required prompt or urgent dental care, highlighting the necessity for integrated oral health management in survivorship plans.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive oral health assessments and multidisciplinary care models to address the varying treatment needs of cancer survivors. These findings have crucial clinical implications, underscoring the need for oncology teams to proactively incorporate oral health care as part of comprehensive cancer treatment. Including dental professionals as part of the oncology care team may promote better long\u2010term outcomes and alleviate discomfort caused by untreated oral issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/scd.70148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,8]],"date-time":"2026-03-08T08:37:10Z","timestamp":1772959030000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Oral Health Challenges in Post\u2010Treatment Cancer Survivors: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Gia","family":"Gobadze","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Department of Maxillo\u2010facial Surgery Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University  Tbilisi Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marika","family":"Zurmukhtashvili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry European University  Tbilisi Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sopio","family":"Samkharadze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry European University  Tbilisi Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tinatin","family":"Gognadze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry European University  Tbilisi Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natia","family":"Jojua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry European University  Tbilisi Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5098-6726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luc","family":"Marks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine &amp;
