Rehabilitation of pediatric retinoblastoma patients with ocular prostheses and their subsequent modifications: A 15-year retrospective study.

Purpose: Enucleation is a common treatment modality performed for pediatric retinoblastoma patients, and the resultant defects are reconstructed using an ocular prosthesis. The prostheses are modified or replaced periodically, as the child develops due to orbital growth and patient-error. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the replacement frequency of prostheses in the pediatric oncologic population.

Mandibular metastases in neuroblastoma: Outcomes and dental sequelae.

Background: Although metastatic involvement of bony sites including cranial bones is common in neuroblastoma (NB), mandibular metastases (MM) are uncommon, and specific outcomes have not been reported upon in the modern therapeutic era.

Methods: In this retrospective study, medical records on patients with MM from NB were reviewed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Dental status and risk of odontogenic complication in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
