Abstract:
Advances in treatment protocols over the past 20 years have resulted in much improved survival rates for children with cancer. As more children survive, the emphasis has moved from "saving children at all costs' to saving children "at least cost to the child' and protocols are continually reviewed with this in mind. As more dental practitioners are likely to encounter children who have survived malignant disease, this paper looks at the long-term effects of treatment modalities on the dentoalveolar complex.

Some cancer cells respond to one...
