Abstract

The aim of this work is to assess tooth-periodontal complications of pediatric patients affected by leukemia. Importance will be addressed to the dentist role in the first steps of the disease with particular attention to the diagnosis of periodontal and neurologic associated syndromes. Authors talk about periodontal complication and dental- skeletal alterations linked to antiblastic therapy, too. They expose how and what is done for these patients in the hemato-oncology dentistry public structure where they play an active role. Finally, they expose the pathologic percentiles recorded (18 months period).
