ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Leukaemia represents 30-40% of all paediatric malignant tumours and is the main cause of death in patients aged <15 years. One of the main complications in these patients is infection, which may often occur in the oral cavity. Chemotherapy-related oral health problems may be reduced by oral healthcare strategies based on the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) and Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CABRA). CASE REPORT A case is reported of a 14-year-old girl treated for leukaemia who presented with established dental caries lesions which were classified and treated according to ICDAS and CABRA protocols. After three, no new caries was observed. FOLLOW-UP ANDCONCLUSION:
ICDAS and CAMBRA provide useful and effective guidance for the avoidance of dental and systemic problems. Their introduction into standard practice could reduce the legal difficulties derived from dental treatment in these patients.Palavras-chave
