Advances in the treatment of childhood cancer including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery have resulted in increased numbers of survivors. Due to the side effects of oncology treatment, childhood cancer survivors are at risk of long-term medical problems. Children who have received chemotherapy or head and neck radiotherapy are at a higher risk of abnormal dental development, which can result in long-term complications regarding dental treatment and oral rehabilitation. Associated dental abnormalities include tooth agenesis, atypical tooth development and delayed eruption. This article describes long-term treatment planning implications for childhood cancer survivors highlighted by reference to three cases.
儿童癌症治疗的进展，包括化疗、放疗和手术，已经导致了更多的幸存者。由于肿瘤治疗的副作用，儿童癌症幸存者有长期医疗问题的风险。接受过化疗或头颈部放疗的儿童，牙齿发育异常的风险更高，这可能导致长期的牙科治疗和口腔康复并发症。相关的牙科异常包括牙齿缺失、非典型牙齿发育和出牙延迟。本文通过三个案例描述了儿童癌症幸存者的长期治疗计划所带来的影响。
