The World Health Organization’s (WHO) oral toxicity scale was used to record OM. <em>Results</em>: The prevalence of OM was 23.3% with a mean age of 8.36 (2.98). 92.9% High risk patients had OM and 7.1% with Low risk patients. The results showed a highly significant difference between oral hygiene practices before and within the third week of receiving chemotherapy in relation to OM. Also, there were strong associations between presence of OM, and frequency of oral hygiene practice in and dietary habits within the third week of receiving chemotherapy. <em>Conclusion</em>: There is a strong correlation between oral hygiene practices and the developmental severity of OM in ALL children before and during chemotherapy treatment. Oral mucositis severity associated with chemotherapy treatment has a significant effect on the dietary habits of ALL children and the use of different treatment regimens with ALL children is considered to be an important risk factor for the development of OM.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101249,"journal":{"name":"The Saudi Journal for Dental Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"Pages 79-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.sjdr.2016.10.004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91760958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First part of questionnaire was regarding demographics and in the second part consisted of 23 factors that might influence the students’ career choices which were divided into six dimensions namely social status, economy, profession, vocation/service, interest in science/education, and personal background. <em>Results</em>: We received 119 completed questionnaires (medical<!--> <!-->=<!--> <!-->40, dental<!--> <!-->=<!--> <!-->40 and nursing<!--> <!-->=<!--> <!-->39) with the response rate of 79.3%.

Furthermore, dental students when compared to both medical and nursing students were more likely to be motivated by factors related to profession that were job security, flexible timings and many others. On the other hand, with regard to factors relating to personal background, medical students showed lower motivation in comparison with dental and nursing students.
