Radiation-induced xerostomia is one of the most common and persistent complications experienced by head and neck cancer survivors following radiotherapy. This book presents a comprehensive review of radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction, covering its biological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, changes in salivary flow and composition, and consequences for oral health and quality of life. This book discusses contemporary clinical studies, including preventive and therapeutic approaches such as salivary substitutes, pilocarpine, cevimeline, photobiomodulation, low-level laser therapy, TENS, trehalose sprays, stem-cell therapies, and gland-sparing radiotherapy. Particular emphasis on early assessment, prevention, multidisciplinary survivorship care, and advances in radiotherapy planning. The book highlights xerostomia as an important clinical and health concern and emphasizes that successful cancer treatment should extend beyond survival to preservation of oral function, dignity, and long-term quality of life.
