  • Title: Dental alterations associated with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets.
    Author: Pereira CM, de Andrade CR, Vargas PA, Coletta RD, de Almeida OP, Lopes MA.
    Journal: J Endod; 2004 Apr; 30(4):241-5. PubMed ID: 15085056.
    Abstract:
    The X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by low serum phosphate levels caused by a decreased renal tubular reabsorption of inorganic phosphates. The initial complaints are a delay in the development of walking caused by deformity of the legs. Oral findings include poorly mineralized dentin, enlarged pulp chambers and root canals, and periradicular abscesses in caries-free teeth. We present three patients from the same family with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets showing bone and dental alterations.
