Leukemia is a type of malignant neoplasm of unknown etiology, resulting from an abnormal proliferation of blood cells that may originate from the bone marrow or lymphoid tissues. It can be divided into several types, but the four primary types are acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The first manifestations of the pathology may be primarily in the oral cavity, as well as the consequences of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Articles based on the database and national and international electronic addresses such as: Google Scholar, SciELO or PubMed were used for this work. The aim is to alert professionals in the field of dentistry about the oral complications resulting from leukemia and their treatments, as well as to inform the possible treatments of certain manifestations. Therefore, the dental surgeon is extremely important for the early diagnosis and for the palliative treatment of the severe oral complications that the patient may present.
