Hypophosphatemic Rickets and its Dental Significance

I read with interest rabbani et al’s paper entitled “dental problems in hypophosphatemic rickets, a cross sectional study” in the fourth issue of iran j pediatr 2012. clinical oral manifestations of hypophosphatemic rickets often include premature tooth exfoliation, hypoplastic enamel and dental infections. apical rarefaction, rickety bone trabeculation and absent or abnormal lamina dura are frequent radiographic findings.
