Study to investigate the effect of two types of radiotherapy on saliva: IMRT versus conventional radiotherapy.
In each group, one part will receive normal dental preventive treatment. The other part will use products for treatment of dry mouth (Biotene gamma).
Both anorganic and organic components of the saliva will be studied at different time points, combined with bacterial swabs.
