Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II: report of three cases.
In this study the dental findings of three patients with vitamin D-dependent rickets (DDR) type II with alopecia, who were treated with large doses of vitamin D3 derivatives, are described. Dental development that is at or near a normal level can be achieved in controlled patients, permitting routine treatment of carious teeth.
