    Author: Nunn JH, Welbury RR, Gordon PH, Kernahan J, Craft AW.
    Journal: Int J Paediatr Dent; 1991 Dec; 1(3):131-5. PubMed ID: 1812966.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-two children in remission from childhood cancer and 41 siblings underwent a full clinical and radiographic dental examination. All the children had received chemotherapy. The leukaemic patients had received radiotherapy also, but not involving the jaws. There was no significant difference in dental caries experience between the treated children and the siblings, but significantly more dental anomalies were detected radiographically in the treated group.
