Abstract
Background: To evaluate dental treatment approaches under general anesthesia in children with cancer.
Material and methods: DMF-T values of existing decay, missing and filled teeth of 68 pediatric patients receiving active cancer treatment were recorded. Systemic and physical examinations of patients were performed by a paediatrician. İntraoral and extraoral examinations of children were performed by pediatric dentists. The dental treatment plan encompasses the child's individualized oral health needs. Dental procedures are generally performed in the controlled environment of a hospital operating room under general anaesthesia. Analyzes were made with SPSS 25.0 package program.
Results: The study determined that the average age was 6.47±2.93. In this study, extraction-focused treatments were used instead of restorative (r=0.346, p=0.01) and endodontic treatments (r=0.274, p=0.01).
Conclusions: Despite the development of restorative and endodontic treatments under general anaesthesia, even pediatric crown applications, radical decisions must be made to control the medical condition of patients with childhood cancers.
