Management of the primary dentition in vitamin D-resistant rickets.
Vitamin D-resistant rickets (familial hypophosphatemia) is a systemic disease secondary to defective renal-tubular reabsorption of phosphate. The major oral manifestations are spontaneous abscesses in a caries-free dentition. Pulpotomies or extractions were frequently described in the dental literature as the therapies of choice. This article presents a new prophylactic approach utilizing zinc oxide--eugenol pulpectomies and full crown coverage in an attempt to retain the primary dentition and prevent abscess formation.
