Fifty two children who had had cancer and been treated with chemotherapy, and who were long term event free, were examined for caries prevalence, gingival health, and oral hygiene and compared with a control group. A higher dental caries prevalence for the 14-17 year age group was noted. The restorative index was significantly lower in the age group 10-13. There were no significant differences in gingival index, plaque index, or toothbrushing frequency. It is concluded that these patients should be considered as at high risk for caries after cancer treatment. Professional dental follow up should be integrated in the medical follow up.
对52名曾患癌症并接受过化疗且长期无事件发生的儿童进行了龋齿患病率、牙龈健康状况和口腔卫生检查，并与对照组进行比较。结果发现14 - 17岁年龄组的龋齿患病率较高。10 - 13岁年龄组的修复指数显著较低。牙龈指数、菌斑指数或刷牙频率方面无显著差异。得出的结论是，这些患者应被视为癌症治疗后患龋齿的高危人群。专业的牙科随访应纳入医疗随访中。
