Impaired urease-mediated alkali generation following radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients: a pilot salivary biochemical analysis
2026-06-01
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Introduction Radiotherapy for head and neck cancers is associated with significant alterations in the oral environment, including salivary dysfunction. Urease-mediated hydrolysis of urea represents a key alkalinogenic pathway that contributes to plaque pH homeostasis. However, its behaviour across different stages of radiotherapy remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to eva...
