- Abstract
Objective: to review articles available in scientific journals that exemplify the role of the dental professional in the care of oral manifestations in patients with Leukemia. Method: it was a narrative bibliographic review using selected articles from the years 2008 to 2018. Results: Oral manifestations of leukemia are more frequent in acute forms, than in chronic forms. The health professional must always be attentive to any type of sign or symptom, as well as the constant updating of medical history. With the emergence of new techniques that promote the maintenance of oral health in patients with some type of neoplasia, today it is possible to prevent a disease without it being installed. Conclusion: It is concluded that the presence of the dental professional in the oncology team can reduce the morbidity and mortality related to oral complications, as well as increase the comfort and quality of life of patients during therapy.
