Cancer is currently a significant therapeutic challenge and is frequently connected with numerous adverse effects. Despite many improvements in chemotherapy, oral complications are common, leading to poor quality of life and chemotherapeutic dose reduction, which impair survival. This review summarizes the most common dental complications in patients receiving chemotherapy. We mainly focus on oral mucositis as it is a major cause of dose-limiting toxicity. Furthermore, oral candidiasis, viral infections, and xerostomia will be discussed. Conclusions: preventing complications is significantly more important than treating them. All patients beginning systemic anticancer treatment should undergo a thorough oral examination and get appropriate prophylaxis.

Patients are increasingly turning to Internet platforms for health-related information. An example is YouTube, one of the largest media-sharing networks in the world. The aim of the present study was to assess the informational value of YouTube videos on the treatment of bruxism with botulinum toxin, a procedure that is becoming increasingly popular in the field of dentistry. After collecting 30 videos for each of the 5 keywords, a total of 150 videos were examined. The following search terms were used: 'bruxism Botox treatment'; 'tooth grinding Botox treatment'; 'jaw clenching Botox treatment'; 'Botox for bruxism'; and 'Botox for masseter reduction'. Two researchers independently assessed the quality of the video content using the DISCERN scoring system. Additionally, the relationships between quantitative variables, such as video duration, the source of upload and video popularity, and the DISCERN scores, were examined. The mean overall DISCERN score was 32.3. The YouTube videos were divided into the following categories based on their DISCERN scores: very poor (26.3%); poor (61.4%); fair (10.5%); good (1.8%); and excellent (0.0%). Videos that addressed risk factors during therapy, treatment outcomes, bruxism symptoms, and the muscle anatomy had significantly higher overall DISCERN scores. In general, YouTube videos on botulinum toxin treatment for bruxism had poor informational value. It is important that dentists recognize the significance of YouTube as a source of health-related information, and ensure that the content they provide is of the highest quality, accurate and up-to-date.

Introduction: The life satisfaction of parents of children with cerebral palsy should be assessed. Parenting a child with a disability may bring more challenges and efforts, impacting overall quality of life. Aim of the Study: the study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction with life of parents of children with cerebral palsy. Material and Methods: The study was designed to assess the satisfaction with life of parents of children with cerebral palsy. To measure this outcome, we developed an original survey consisting of 29 questions inspired by the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). The study involved 43 parents or legal guardians of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Results: A correlation was identified between parental life satisfaction and the amount of leisure time reported by parents (p = 0.004, R = 0.46). The research indicates that parental life satisfaction does not depend on the parent’s satisfaction with the level of therapy (p > 0.05) and the degree of improvement in the child’s functioning (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The level of parental life satisfaction does not depend on the level and outcome of therapy. The more leisure time the parents have, the greater their life satisfaction is. Parents of children with cerebral palsy should take care of their free time.
