Abstract

The pathophysiology of oral mucositis is complex and its management is a challenge. Reduced immunity as in cancers, exposure to chemotherapy, exposure to radiotherapy in head and neck cancers are common causes. Oral mucositis is also seen as a manifestation of dermatological conditions affecting the muco-cutaneous structures of the body. We describe the effectiveness of “modified magic mouth wash” in a few such cases.
