Abstract:
Dental management of pediatric oncology patients is an important component of comprehensive supportive care. Oral complications associated with tumor directed treatment may be a direct result of the stomatotoxic effects of cancer therapy or the indirect effects of myelosuppression. These complications may be immediate or long-term. Appropriate dental supportive care has been shown to minimize the morbidity and potential mortality associated with these complications.
