Abstract
Mucositis can follow radiotherapy and chemotherapy due to damage of the mucosal cell renewal cycle. The incidence of oral mucositis in pediatric cancer patients is approximately 65%. The high turnover rate of mucosal cells and variability in the immunostimulatory response and resistance is responsible for the increase in the incidence of oral mucositis in children compared to adults. Clinically, it begins with a change in mucosal color and is followed by ulceration. The resulting pain of mucositis affects the patient’s quality of life. This case report describes the treatment of mucositis in a 7-year-old patient using ozonated water.
