INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
To date, there are no methods for assessing the risk of oral developmental defects that could predict long-term adverse effects in childhood cancer survivors. Having such a method at our disposal would enable us to better assess the risk to develop those defects and will help us provide new prevention and treatment strategies to ensure a healthy oral development. The aims of this study are : * Assess the caries risk in childhood cancer survivors compared with a control group. * Assess the dental development defects risk in childhood cancer survivors compared with a control group.
