Abstract
- Leukemia is a cancer that arises in the hematopoietic system, and the most common leukemia in children is the acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). However, modern advances in therapeutic approaches have greatly increased the chances of survival. As the number of survivors of childhood cancer increases, more patients with cancer history seek orthodontic treatment. Certain dental conditions may require modifications to general orthodontic care in order to reduce or prevent adverse treatment outcomes in patients with histories of cancer, but orthodontic training courses do not often cover these specific aspects. The objective of this case report was to discuss the complications of chemotherapy related to dental development and document the outcomes of a first-phase orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusion in a pediatric patient with a history of ALL.
