ABSTRACT
Acute leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia accounts for 80% of the total number of cases of acute leukemia among children. The etiology of acute leukemia is unknown, but many predisposing genetic, environmental, and viral factors have been implicated. The clinical manifestations of leukemia are a direct result of the marrow invasion and resultant cytopenias (anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia). The diagnosis of acute leukemia requires the presence of 25% or more blasts in the bone marrow. Treatment lasts for a minimum of two years. The role of the dentist in the care of these special patients is vital importance in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of oral manifestations both early and late, to give the best possible handling odontopediatric to the patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and therefore a better quality of life. The diagnosis is made by the morphology analysis, molecular cytogenetic and bone marrow aspirate. The treatment lasts for approximately two years. The prognosis for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia has improved dramatically in recent decades thanks to new drugs and in the last few years thanks to a risk-adapted treatment of patients.
