| Research Abstract |
Recently,late effects of antineoplastic treatment are frequently observed in childhood cancer patients. Cyclophosphamide (CY) is one of the cytostatic drugs commonly used for cancer treatment in children. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of CY on dental development in mice. We treated 12-day-old ICR mice with CY (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Soft X-ray radiographs were obtained in lateral projection. The root / crown length (R/C) ratio of the first molar was calculated. Serial sagittal sections were prepared from the first molars and histomorphological and immunohistochemical (cytokeratin) studies were performed. At 27 days, the root length in the experimental group was approximately 60% of that in the control group. The Hertwig's epithelial root sheath in the experimental group disappeared from 20 days onwards. Our results indicate that CY can induce a defect in and alter the function of HERS and disruption of the epithelial sheath inhibits proliferation and root formation.
