Spec Care Dentist. 2000 Sep-Oct;20(5):187-90. doi: 10.1111/j.1754-4505.2000.tb00017.x.

Abstract

In young patients with abnormal loosening of teeth and periodontal breakdown, dental professionals should consider a wide range of etiological factors/diseases, analyze differential diagnoses, and make appropriate referrals. The long-term oral and dental follow-up of a female patient diagnosed in early infancy with cyclic neutropenia is reviewed, and recommendations for care are discussed.
