Outline of Final Research Achievements

To prevent the oral mucosal problem and to enhance the promotion of oral-related QOL, a preventive method of oral mucositis and mucosal injure was built for the elderly suffering xerostomia and for the patients who were undergoing perioperative medical treatments. The updated technology of visual examination of mucosa, so-called Narrow Band Imaging, was employed in this system to visualize the abnormality of oral mucosa. The oral mucosa mapping system which covered whole oral cavity was also developed. By using these two systems, new diagnostic method of oral mucosa was proposed to prevent oral mucositis. Finally, the comprehensive guideline of diagnosis and treatment of oral mucositis were discussed.
