Malignant neoplasms are one of the main causes of death in developed countries. Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach and treatments methods (surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) in pediatric oncology, the number of cancer survivors among children is growing. The high survival rate obliges the medical community to monitor the long-term consequences of both the cancer disease and the anticancer treatment used. The incidence and type of complications in oncological treatment vary. Their presence and severity depend on the child’s age, the nature of the malignant neoplasm, as well as the specificity and intensity of therapy. Frequent complications of treatment may include serious maxillofacial defects resulting from developmental disorders of bones, soft tissues and teeth. One of the dental complications of both radio- and chemotherapy is tooth agenesis. In this manuscript, we highlight the dental complications of oncological treatment and the need of an interdisciplinary approach in dealing with them.
