  • Title: Dental management of children with cancer.
    Author: Berkowitz RJ, Feretti GA, Berg JH.
    Journal: Pediatr Ann; 1988 Nov; 17(11):715-25. PubMed ID: 3070471.
    Abstract:
    Dental management of pediatric oncology patients is an important component of comprehensive supportive care. Oral complications associated with tumor directed treatment may be a direct result of the stomatotoxic effects of cancer therapy or the indirect effects of myelosuppression. These complications may be immediate or long-term. Appropriate dental supportive care has been shown to minimize the morbidity and potential mortality associated with these complications.
