Özet
The increase in the prevalence on childhood cancer and widespread use of chemotherapy in many patients leads to an increase the risk of oral infection in children. Short-term effects of cancer treatment are oral mucositis and glossitis, xerostomia, intra-oral infections, acute ascending sialadentitis and gingivitis. This article presents the need of oncology protocol modifications such as an early pre-treatment oral assessment and the need of appropriate dental services with a pediatric dentist at referral cancer treatment services.
