Oral and dental status in leukemic children treated with bone marrow transplantation

14 leukemic children, who underwent Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT), were evaluated for oral and dental status. 11/14 (78.6) patients had dental abnormalities (agenesia, crown opacity and ipoplasya, impaired root development). 11/14 presented multiple caries. Temporomandibular joint function was altered in 1/14 patient. Parodontal abnormalities incidence was similar to a normal population. In conclusion we found an increased incidence in agenesis and root abnormalities.
