Cancer comes every year affecting more and more people around the world and with the technological advances in the health area, cancer treatment has achieved significant achievements, directly implying quality of life and increased survival rate of these patients. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy, because they are not selective, end up causing some side effects that manifest in the oral cavity, which can cause discontinuation of cancer treatment. In view of this context, at the end of the study we intend to answer the following questions: What does the scientific literature say about the relationship between dentistry treatment and oncological treatment? What kind of protocol for dental treatment before, during and after cancer treatment? Thus, the general objective was to analyze the existing literature on the relationship between dentistry and oncological treatment. In order to reach this proposal, the study was based on an integrative review in which ten articles related to the topic were selected from 2010 to 2017 in the databases Database of Nursing (BDENF), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), and PUBMED. We conclude how important is the Dentist in the multiprofessional team, in order to offer a better survival to the patient, not to interrupt the treatment, as well as to ensure his quality of life.
