Abstract(s)
A leucemia apresenta uma incidência significativa a nível mundial, é considerada uma doença neoplásica em que o normal desenvolvimento, diferenciação e produção das células sanguíneas são afetados. Pacientes diagnosticados com leucemia, sujeitos a terapia através da quimioterapia, podem desenvolver complicações orais que comprometem a sua qualidade de vida e bem-estar. Desta forma, torna-se crucial a todos os profissionais de saúde, incluindo os médicos dentistas, a realização de uma avaliação de carácter minucioso e delicado, antes, durante e após o tratamento quimioterápico, com o intuito preventivo e ou de redução da magnitude das repercussões orais decorrentes, quer da patologia, quer do tratamento em si, sendo o objetivo principal proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida a estes pacientes e uma normalização do bem-estar físico e psicológico dos mesmos. Para tal, é imperativo que o médico dentista detenha conhecimento das manifestações orais decorrentes desta patologia/tratamento e as suas manifestações clínicas, sendo este o objetivo desta monografia.
