Title: Primary hyperparathyroidism of the mandible. A case report. Author: Khateery SM, Dhanrajani PJ, Swaify GA. Journal: Indian J Dent Res; 1992; 3(4):111-5. PubMed ID: 1344980.

This case supports the opinion that negative laboratory tests viz., calcium and phosphorus levels do not exclude the existence of hyperparathyroidism (normocalcaemic type).[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
