Abstract
Rickets is a disease caused by vitamin D deficiency. The lack of vitamin D and other minerals can cause weak or soft bones and dysplasia of the teeth. Rickets is identified by clinical symptoms such as bowlegs or knock-knees, and can be confirmed with laboratory tests. Dental findings include enlarged chambers and high pulp horns that extend into the cusp tips of both the primary and the permanent dentition. Other oral manifestations include multiple spontaneous abscesses in a caries-free dentition. Yet another problem is enamel hypoplasia. We reported the clinical features of rickets and the dental treatment of an 11-year-old boy with hypophosphatemic rickets, which was referred to the department of pediatrics in Jeju National University Hospital for dental care. and other children’s medical records.
