title: Off-site dental evaluation program for prospective bone marrow transplant recipients.
abstract: The authors evaluated the usefulness of an off-site dental evaluation program for bone marrow recipients. This evaluation packet enabled patients scheduled for bone marrow transplants to be evaluated by, and receive any treatment from, their own dentist rather than a dentist at the transplant center. The program generally was effective in achieving its goals and was well-accepted by patients and dentists alike.
