Oligomicrodontia in a Pediatric Cancer Survivor after Chemotherapy: A Case Report

Abstract: Chemotherapy used on pediatric patients especially those below 3 years of age causes disturbances in dental development. The aim of this case report was to present the late dental effects of chemotherapy in a patient treated for anaplastic ependymoma (WHO III) at an early age.
