Periodontitis and dental quality of life predict long-term survival in head and neck cancer
The degree of alveolar bone loss, as determined by OPG, and dental HRQoL both obtained at the time of HNSCC diagnosis, predicted long-term survival. When analyzed simultaneously, both factors remained significant in both univariate and multivariate analyses, adjusted by pertinent clinical variables, highlighting their unique prognostic value.
