Oral manifestations of acute leukemia in children. 1977

M Michaud, and R L Baehner, and D Bixler, and A H Kafrawy

Seventy-seven children with acute leukemia were examined. A wide spectrum of oral findings was observed as the consequence of direct leukemic infiltration of tissue, infection resulting from bone marrow and immunosuppression, impaired healing responses, and poor oral hygiene. Guidelines for dental treatment are provided.
