The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between oral and dental health in cancer patients and control group, which was conducted in Tabriz Shahid Gazi hospital. A researchers-made and validated questionnaire including oral and dental health criteria, was filled by the cancer patients (201 cases) and healthy controls (199 cases). Then, the results of the study were analyzed by SPSS software, and reported as Odds ratios (95 % confidence intervals) in tow groups. The results indicate that comparison of filled tooth, tooth extraction, dental caries, and gingival problems including bleeding, gum surgery and inflammation in cancer and controls were significantly meaningful. However, the comparison between the two groups was not significant in terms of the type of the tooth (natural or denture) and the number of daily toothbrushes, but they were considered as risk factors due to statistical results. Environmental factors, and especially oral hygiene, can play an important role in the incidence of different cancers. Among these, the type of oral microorganisms, and their overgrowth and released antigens should be studied further in the emergence of different kinds of cancer in humans.
