Dental Alterations Associated with X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets

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… Show more

“…Some authors advocate extracti on of teeth that present periradicular abscesses and eventual restorati on with CONCLUSION REFERENCES implants; however, endodonti c and restorati ve treatment may not be able to maintain asepsis. The incompletely mineralized denti n exists in the form of calcospherites, which trap microorganisms and also impede mechanical endodonti c cleaning 47,48 . The practi ti oner must conclude that the occurrence of spontaneous abscesses following a shallow cavity preparati on necessitates aggressive preventi ve dental procedures.…”

“…Differently from vitamin D dependent rickets or from other causes of hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR, TIO and HHRH), in XHR muscle weakness and hypotonia are absent (50). XHR is also characterized by dental damages due to dentin under-mineralization and tendency to teeth fall and dental abscesses (51). These dental alterations are more severe in adolescents and in male adults (48).…”

“…Early treatment of XHR can minimize growth impairment, limb deformities, and teeth anomalies (49,51,60). However, the growth deficit accumulated in the first years of life is usually permanent, especially when treatment has begun at a later age.…”

“…Low levels of vitamin D can trigger the body to release hormones that lead to the eventual loss of calcium and phosphate from bones, which leads to insufficient bone mineralization. Vitamin D Resistant Rickets (VDRR) is also known as X-linked hypophosphatemia with a prevalence of 1:20.000 people (1)(2)(3)(4). It is characterized by a calcium and phosphate metabolism disorder affecting mineralized tissues, bone and teeth (1,5).…”

“…Vitamin D Resistant Rickets (VDRR) is also known as X-linked hypophosphatemia with a prevalence of 1:20.000 people (1)(2)(3)(4). It is characterized by a calcium and phosphate metabolism disorder affecting mineralized tissues, bone and teeth (1,5). VDRR was first documented by Albright et al (6) (1937) and mineralization defects of hard tissues in these cases are derived from renal transepithelial transport disturbance resulting in decreased tubular reabsorption of phosphate and hypophosphatemia (1,4,7).…”
