Abstract
Objective: To investigate the manifestation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis as periodontitis, and to provide continuous oral health guidance for patients with systemic treatment combined with periodontal treatment, to observe the effect of plaque control in children, and to provide plaque control methods for the same patients to achieve the purpose of periodontitis control. Methods the hazards and control methods of dental plaque were repeatedly emphasized through clinical field guidance, telephone and wechat. Results after 10 months of systemic and periodontal treatment, the children were followed up under the oral health guidance of medical staff, and the oral health maintenance was in good condition.
