Loss of moderate numbers of cells does not affect the function of most organs. However, with loss of large numbers of cells, all affected organisms display a clinical result. The severity of this change depends on the dosage and thus the extent of cell loss. Moderate doses to a localized area may lead to repairable damage. Comparable doses to a whole organism may result in death from damage to the most sensitive systems in the body. 6 26 2015 182 186 TODENTJ-9-182 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2014-12-22 2015-3-4 2015-3-10 2015-6-26 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601509010182 1553505678 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/9/PAGE/182/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-182/TODENTJ-9-182.xml Oral Oncol Petersen P.E. 45 454 2009 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2008.05.023 Petersen PE.
