### Complex Rehabilitation Landmark
During superficial palpation, with clinical methods applied, we noticed a lower sensitivity in 3/2 (10.71%/6.67%) patients. Important dental screenings were documented in both groups' data files (the cases group were more affected): severe caries; periodontal disease (teeth with periodontal pockets, \(p>6\) mm) 5/1 (17.85%/3.33%) measured by PD clinical methodology; periapical dental pathology, (partially) impacted teeth; residual root tips; radiographic abnormalities, such as root resorption and dental oral cysts. Oral candidiasis was reported in three patients from cases group (Table 8). \begin{table}

Table 8: The oro-dental morbidity of the study groups. From a qualitative point of view only, for evaluation of the damaged dental-periodontal status condition, we used systematization through mean value indices. Regarding the intraoral clinical examination of the patient, the first important sign observed was periodontal damage, with horizontal bone line, 43.10%, and vertical bone line, 37.93%. Severe inflammation (for post-radiotherapy cases the values were placed first, and in control cases, in second position) presented with symptoms marked by redness edema, tendency to spontaneous bleeding, ulceration; also, GI index and CAL index, both scored three, were observed on mandibular teeth at 22/1 (78.57%/3.33%), and GBI index of two at 20/1 (71.42%/3.33%). On examination of the maxilla, an increased GI index value of two was demonstrated at 25/6 (89.29%/20.00%), and at 25/3 (89.29%/10.00%), which represented severe levels of inflammation. Value two in the CAL index at 25/5 (89.29%/16.67%) and value two in the GBI index at 25/4 (89.29%/13.33%) were recorded. The level of gingival damage was dependent on the amounts of bacterial plaque and the level of oral hygiene. A plaque index of two and three were recorded at 25/3 (89.29%/10.00%). In the radiotherapeutic frame, periodontal rehabilitation consisted of aetiology therapy in combination with minimally invasive techniques, considering the field of radiotherapy, and a 3-month follow-up.
