Familial hypophosphatemic rickets.
[dentin dysplasia]
Rickets
is
the
failure
of
mineralization
of
osteoid
and
newly
formed
bones
in
a
child
skeleton
.
It
is
commonly
associated
with
vitamin
D
deficiency
;
however
,
it
can
be
because
of
a
decrease
in
the
serum
phosphate
levels
leading
to
inadequate
mineralization
of
cartilage
and
bone
,
consequent
skeletal
deformities
,
and
growth
retardation
.
The
hypophosphatemic
conditions
that
interfere
in
bone
mineralization
comprise
many
hereditary
or
acquired
diseases
.
One
of
the
hereditary
types
of
hypophosphatemic
rickets
is
the
familial
hypophosphatemic
rickets
.
This
rare
variety
was
diagnosed
in
a
9
-
year
-old
patient
who
had
come
with
a
chief
complaint
of
a
missing
tooth
.
In
the
present
case
,
radiographic
aspects
of
oral
and
systemic
manifestations
of
familial
hypophosphatemic
rickets
are
highlighted
.
