  • Title: Familial hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets--prevention of spontaneous dental abscesses on primary teeth: a case report.

    Abstract:
    Familial hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets is a hereditary disease generally transmitted as an X-linked dominant trait and characterized by distinctive general clinical signs. Dental features include spontaneous dental abscesses that occur in the absence of a history of trauma or dental decay. The challenge for the dentist is to prevent and treat these lesions. This report describes the case of a young hypophosphatemic boy with abscesses. In this case, the application of fluid resin composites with a self-etching primer bonding system to all primary teeth prevented abscess formation for more than 1 year and thus avoided endodontic treatment or extraction. This constitutes a new approach to the prevention of spontaneous abscesses on primary teeth in children with familial hypophosphatemic rickets.
