| Abstract |
|
Chemoradiation therapy used on pediatric oncology patients often causes dental developmental anomalies that affect future dental care. Defects noted include tooth and root agenesis, root thining and shortening, and localized enamel defects. The effect of radiotherapy usually are confined to the radiation site, but the effects of chemotherapy may be more wide spread because of its systemic distribution and structures and organs unrelated to the primary tumor may be affected. Many pediatric cancers are treated with a combination of radiation and multiagent chemotherapy to create synergic and additive effects. Dental treatment affected by chemoradiation damage to developing teeth includes orthodontic tooth movement, prosthetic abutment considerations, periodontal health, space maintenance, requirements for home fluoride regimens to protect hypomineralized areas, restoration options for hypoplastic/hypomineralized teeth, and endodontic procedures. The following case demonstrate chemoradiation therapy effects on the dental development. |
