ancer treatment for children is of combinative therapies
including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgical
therapy. Chemotherapy debuted in the 1960s and has amended
the outcome of multimodal approaches of oncological
treatment over the decade. Pediatric cancer survivors can
express chronic and late effects from therapies. Studies
have shown modularity given aggressively resulted in 50% of
the childhood cancer survivors developed a severe chronic
disease by 50 years of age. Developmental defects can
affect approximately one-third pediatric cancer survivor and
the impairments vary in severity. Treatments of cancer may
even delay the normal development and maturation of teeth
and therefore also impact the children’s psychological health.
This is a general problem for childhood cancer survivors;
therefore, dental practitioners should understand and work
with prophylactic measures. The aim of the study is to
systematically analyze and review already existing information
about the dental effects of chemotherapy on pediatric patients
including a review of the interaction of chemotherapy dental
effects in pediatric cancer survivors. Children who receive
chemotherapy before the age of five can present extensive
damage in their dentition. This damage underlines the fact that
the developing dentition is more vulnerable to damage from
chemotherapy. Enamel hypoplasia and discoloration are the
most common defects.
