The dental health of 41 children aged 4-16 years who were in maintenance therapy from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was examined in relation to the period of time in maintenance. There was no significant difference in dental experience and salivary flow rate between the control group and patients with leukemia. Performed treatment index (PTI) and required treatment index (RTI) scores reflected that children, who were in maintenance therapy had insufficient dental care and needed more dental treatments. A statistically significant difference in salivary pH was found between the children, who were in maintenance therapy for 12-24 months and less than 12 months and also the control group; but the pH scores of all groups were observed in normal limits.
对41名年龄在4至16岁、处于急性淋巴细胞白血病（ALL）维持治疗阶段的儿童的口腔健康状况进行了检查，并与维持治疗时间相关联。对照组与白血病患者在牙科经历和唾液流速方面没有显著差异。已实施治疗指数（PTI）和所需治疗指数（RTI）得分反映出，处于维持治疗阶段的儿童口腔护理不足，需要更多的牙科治疗。在维持治疗12至24个月的儿童、维持治疗少于12个月的儿童以及对照组儿童之间，唾液pH值存在统计学上的显著差异；但所有组的pH得分均在正常范围内。
