Altered dental root development in long-term survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A review of 17 cases

Abstract: Seventeen patients treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia by combination chemotherapy before their reaching 10 years of age were studied for altered dental root development of their premolar teeth. Five of the 17 patients showed subjective radiographic evidence of marked shortening of the premolar dental roots; 13 had thinning of the roots. A quantitative analysis was developed and verified, which disclosed a 63.33% to 84.38% reduction of premolar root length when compared with the mean of the historical con… Show more

“…While most of these findings have previously been reported in long-term survivors of childhood cancers who received chemotherapy for a much longer term [6][7][8][9][10][11] and in children who received BMT after total body irradiation, 12 no previous findings have been documented in children receiving short-term chemotherapy without irradiation followed by BMT in the management of SCID.…”

“…This indicates that HERS cells are sensitive to vinblastine at/near commonly used pharmacologic doses, and adds support to clinical findings that abnormal root morphology in childhood cancer survivors is the result of damage to HERS cells proliferating at the time of chemotherapy. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] There was a beneficial effect of photobiomodulation on HERS cell recovery from vinblastine exposure. The greatest effects of the light treatment were noted at the LD 50 .…”

“…1 Numerous studies of the long-term effects of chemotherapy on dental development have found that the most common abnormality is atypical root morphology. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) cells are considered to be the cells responsible for root formation. The apical migration of these cells during root development determines the eventual morphology of the root.…”
