Abstract
Background: Changes in bone age and tooth development are late side effects of cancer therapy and can be identified by imaging examination.
Aim: To evaluate the late effects of antineoplastic treatment on bone age and dental development in childhood cancer survivors.
Design: This is a retrospective case-control study on paediatric cancer survivors of both sexes who underwent antineoplastic treatment with 5-15 years of survival. Carpal radiographs were assessed for bone age and growth curve, and panoramic radiographs were used to evaluate dental development and alterations. Carpal radiographs were analyzed using the Greulich and Pyle inspection method, and the Martins and Sakima method was used to analyze the growth curve. All tests were applied with a confidence level of 95%.
Results: The study and control groups comprised 28 and 56 patients, respectively. There was no significant difference in bone age and growth curve between the study and control groups. Nonetheless, when sex was compared to chronological and bone ages, there was a significant difference in bone age (p = 0.019) and an underestimation in both groups and sexes in the Greulich and Pyle method. As to late dental effects, dental agenesia, microdontia, gyroversion, and unerupted teeth were found. Dental shape alterations mainly involve the root region.
Conclusion: Close multidisciplinary collaboration is necessary during the follow-up period of young patients who have survived cancer.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide.
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
