Advances in treatment protocols over the past 20 years have resulted in much improved survival rates for children with cancer. As more children survive, the emphasis has moved from "saving children at all costs' to saving children "at least cost to the child' and protocols are continually reviewed with this in mind. As more dental practitioners are likely to encounter children who have survived malignant disease, this paper looks at the long-term effects of treatment modalities on the dentoalveolar complex.
在过去20年中，治疗方案的进步使癌症患儿的生存率得到了显著提高。随着越来越多的儿童存活下来，重点已从“不惜一切代价拯救儿童”转向“以对儿童造成最小代价的方式拯救儿童”，并且在制定方案时会不断考虑到这一点。由于越来越多的牙科医生可能会接触到患有恶性疾病后存活下来的儿童，本文探讨了治疗方式对牙颌复合体的长期影响。
