Summary
This study aims to propose an alternative and auxiliary methodology for the prevention and
treatment of Oral Mucositis (OM) in patients undergoing radiotherapy or radio and
chemotherapy for head and neck neoplasms through the use of copaiba-based mouthwash, since
the treatment that currently has proven efficacy for the prevention of OM(Low Power Laser
Therapy) cannot be applied in tumor regions due to the risk of stimulating the tissue
proliferation of malignant cells.
