Root Anomalies after Combined Chemotherapy Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia during Childhood: A Case Report‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

 Dental abnormalities have been sporadically reported in patients treated as children for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with multi-agent chemotherapy, with and without radiation. Reports included delayed dental development, microdontia, hypoplasia, agenesis, V-shaped roots, shortened roots, and cervical root resorption. These anomalies in pediatric patients require regular dental follow-up and sometimes highly complex treatment. We describe a well-documented case of a 19-year-old male who presented with such anomalies 12 years after treatment with several chemotherapy agents for ALL, and discuss the resultant disruption of normal tooth development that led to the ensuing abnormalities.
