From the author: Detection and prevention of oral cancer is an integral part of dental hygiene practice. Currently, much is known about the etiology and prevention of cancers of the aerodigestive tract. Poor nutrition is responsible for one-third of all cases. Antioxidant nutrients are assuming more importance in cancer research, including those of the aerodigestive tract. This review article will provide current information on antioxidant nutrients and their possible role as a chemopreventive agent in the development and treatment of oral cancer. In addition, recommendations will be made for incorporating nutrition education into dental hygiene practice.
