[DMFT index values in patients treated for leukemia during growth].

Abstract

Patients affected by acute leukemia under radiotherapy and chemotherapy, less than 12 years old were investigated about DMFT index. Patients were in total remission. All erupted permanent teeth, with attention to an eventual oligodontia of non erupted teeth also, excluding third molars, were investigated by clinical and X-Ray examination. Authors concluded that there is no difference between these patients and normal subjects for this index.
