Abstract:

In 2005 the Foundation San Raffaele del Monte Tabor, Milan (Italy) has undertaken a cooperation with the Mediterranean Institute of Hematology (IME), a National Foundation founded by the initiative of the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Economy and the Lazio Region of Italy for the Bone Marrow Transplantation (T.M.O.) in beta- Thalassemie, as well as in other haematological malignancies. From September 2005 to April 2008 came at the Centre San Raffaele del Monte Tabor, Hospital San Raffaele(HSR), 43 patients including 42 with beta-Thalassemia and one with Sickle Cell Anemia, from Middle-East Countries. In 2005 also the task force of paediatric dentistry of HSR directed by Prof. Gherlone, has shown great solidarity in collaboration with the Department of Hematology providing all their skills in order to prevent and treat oral complications that could interfere with the success of the T.M.O. improving the control of oral side effects related to beta-Thalassemia. This clinical protocol of paediatric dentistry in the treatment of children undergoing T.M.O. will be exposed.
