What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating the long-term dental effects of chemotherapy in individuals who were diagnosed with cancer before the age of 10. The study aims to compare the risk of dental caries and dental development defects between childhood cancer survivors and a control group. This research hopes to improve methods for assessing risks and to support new prevention and treatment strategies for healthy oral development in childhood cancer survivors. Participants will undergo a standard dental examination that includes clinical and radiographic assessments with intra-oral and panoramic X-rays. The study will collect medical data and questionnaires to gather comprehensive information. The comparison involves childhood cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy and a control group without such history. Participants aged 12 to 36 years will be involved for approximately two years. The main outcome measured is the experience of dental caries using the Decay Missing Filled Teeth DMFT score. Researchers will also assess the prevalence of dental development defects. The study includes ongoing evaluations during this period to monitor dental health and development.
