Well,
Hi all...here is my two cents worth.
There are no known contraindications to scaling and/or root planing in conjunction with chemo or radiation therapy. Mechanical removal of calcified deposits on teeth and tooth roots do not interfere with cancer therapy.
There is as well no indication that cleanings with sonic, ultrasonic, infrared or other types of cleaning are detrimental to patients who are undergoing chemo and/or radiation therapy.
