Abstract:

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy in head and neck may have serious effects on developing teeth such as delayed dental development, microdontia, hypoplasia, agenesis and V-shaped and shortened roots... the effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on developing dentition has been widely demonstrated. Survivorship care for patients with cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach, including early involvement of the dental team. This article intends to document a case of agenesis and shortness roots of permanent teeth secondary to chemo-radiation therapy in a 15-year-old boy.
