What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of long-term dental effects in childhood cancer survivors who were diagnosed before the age of 10 and treated with chemotherapy. It will compare the dental health of these survivors to a control group through questionnaires and standard dental examinations. The goal is to identify risks for dental caries and developmental defects, which could inform future prevention and treatment strategies for maintaining healthy oral development in this population.
