Fraza do cytowania: Bogusławska-Kapała A., Hałaburda K., Strużycka I. Dental preparation of the patient undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) based on literature and own experience. Dental Forum. 2018;XLVI(2):186–193. DOI: https://doi.org/10.20883/df.2018.25.

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) still carries a high risk of side effects that frequently occur in the oral cavity and often significantly decrease the patients’ quality of life. Therefore, it is mandatory that all patients referred to HCT undergo thorough dental examination and receive appropriate treatment before the procedure. This paper presents a review of dental management methods intended for patients before HCT proposed in the literature as well as recommendations based on the experience of authors of the publication, with particular emphasis on the principles of basic dental care (BOC — Basic Oral Care), understood as systematic carrying out of routine procedures aimed at maintaining oral health and preventing complications. The article pays special attention to the problem of potential foci of infection and bleeding.

Key words: hematopoietic cell transplantation, dental care, pre‑transplant period.
