Question

which oral condition does chemotherapy make a patient more susceptible to develop?
plaque
mucositis
halitosis
canker sores

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Chemotherapy can damage the rapidly - dividing cells in the oral mucosa, increasing the risk of mucositis. Plaque is mainly related to poor oral hygiene and bacterial accumulation. Halitosis is often due to food residues, bacteria, or certain medical conditions not directly related to chemotherapy in most cases. Canker sores have multiple causes like stress, vitamin deficiencies, etc., and are not as directly linked to chemotherapy as mucositis.

Answer:

Mucositis
