  • "Rickets" is the term applied to impaired mineralization at epiphyseal growth plate, resulting in deformity and impaired linear growth of long bones. Rickets may arise as a result of vitamin D deficiency or abnormality in metabolism. Vitamin D-dependent rickets(VDDR) is rare autosomal recessive disorder in which affected individuals have clinical features of vitamin D deficiency. In 1961, Prader first described this disorder including severe clinical features of rickets, such as hypophosphatemia, hypocalcemia, muscle weakness and seizure. Two distinctive hereditary defects, type I VDDR and type II VDDR have been recognized in vitamin D metabolism. Type I VDDR may be due to congenital defects of renal 1 ${\alpha}$-hydroxylase, the enzyme responsible for conversion of $25(OH)D_3$. These patients have low to detectable $1,25(OH)_2D_3$ in presence of normal to raised $25(OH)D_3$. In type II VDDR, renal production of $1,25(OH)_2D_3$ is intact but $1,25(OH)_2D_3$ is not used effectively and target organ resistant to $1,25(OH)_2D_3$ is respectively derived from the abnormality in the vitamin D receptor. We report a case of a 25 month-old girl with typical clinical features of VDDR type I rickets, hypocalcemia, increased alkaline phosphatase and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

  • Vitamin D-resistant rickets(VDRR) is hereditary disease manifesting marked hypophosphatemia caused by renal tubular loss of phosphate into urine and an associated decrease in the calcium and phosphorous ion product. VDRR is identified by clinical symptoms, such as in the limbs, gait disturbance, dwarfism, familial occurrence, bowlegs, and knock-knees, as well as by laboratory findings. Dental findings are enlarged chambers and extension of the pulp horns into the cusp tips in both the primary and the permanent dentition in contrast to the vitamin D-deficient rickets. The major oral manifestations are multiple spontaneous abscesses in a caries-free dentition. We reported the clinical features and treatment of a 6-year-old boy with vitamin D-resistant rickets referred to the department of pediatric dentistry in Kyung Hee University for multiple spontaneous periapical abscesses and gingival fistula without severe dental caries.

  • X-linked dominant hypophosphataemic rickets(XLHR) is a hereditary disease generally transmitted as an X-linked dominant trait. Oral manifestations include poorly mineralized dentin, enlarged pulp chambers and root canals, early tooth loss. Also, spontaneous dental abscesses could occur in the absence of a history of trauma or caries. This report describes the clinical finding and dental treatment of a child, who came to the hospital for treatment caries but was refered to pediatrics because the child showed clinically short of status, bow-leg and radiographically enlarged pulp chamber and canal, there as diagnosed as XLHR. After the diagnosis, 13 years follow-up and treatment were performed.

  • Purpose : Vitamin D plays a key role in bone mineralization of the skeleton and vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets. It is well known that vitamin D deficiency is common in breast fed infants. Of these patients, clinically, some have no signs of rickets, but laboratory and radiographic findings are diagnostic for vitamin D deficiency rickets (subclinical vitamin D deficiency rickets). The purpose of this study is to clarify current causes and ways to prevent this disease. Methods : We reviewed the clinical and laboratory characteristics of children who were incidentally diagnosed as subclinical rickets during treatment of other disease such as pneumonia, gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection at Eulji Hospital, Seoul, Korea from March, 2003 to July 2007. Results : Eight patients (six boys and two girls) were diagnosed with subclinical vitamin D deficiency rickets. The mean age of the patients was $12.6{\pm}5.8months$, and they were diagnosed from January to July. The associated diseases were pneumonia, urinary tract infection, acute gastroenteritis, and iron deficiency anemia. All patients were breast-fed. Two showed growth failure. The mean serum alkaline phosphatase was $1995.8{\pm}739.5IU/L$, the mean calcium count was $9.5{\pm}0.6mg/dL$, and the mean phosphorus content was $3.6{\pm}1.5mg/dL$. The mean intact parathyroid hormone was $214.8{\pm}155.9pg/mL$ (reference range, 9-65), the mean 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D was $82.4{\pm}49.3pg/mL$ (reference range, 2070), and the mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D was $29.6{\pm}10.6ng/mL$ (reference range, 1030). A radiographic examination showed cupping, fraying, and flaring of metaphyses in all patients. Six patients were administered calcitriol (400 IU/day) for three months. A consequent radiographic and laboratory examination showed improvement. The first two patients were initially diagnosed with metaphyseal dysplasia, without the detection of vitamin D deficiency and they spontaneously improved without vitamin D supplements. However, two years later, they showed mild scoliosis and metaphyseal dysplasia, respectively. Conclusion : Breast-feeding without supplementation involves high risk of vitamin D deficiency. Some infants may also develop rickets; therefore, such groups should be considered for vitamin D supplementation.

  • XLH (X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets) is a form of rickets which is resistant to the usual dose of vitamin D and inherited in a X-linked dominant manner. It is also known as vitamin D-resistant rickets or familial hypophosphatemic rickets. Here we report a 6-year-and-6-month-old female patient of XLH who is diagnosed with in SNUB. She was referred from local clinic for impaction of maxillary left permanent incisor and its treatment. She presents bowing deformities of the legs, short stature, enlargement of wrist and ankles and spontaneous dental abscesses of clinically sound teeth delayed eruption, taurodontism, delayed apical closure, enlarged pulp chambers, and absent or poorly defined lamina dura. The purpose of this case is to review the literatures of XLH and report the dental and medical characteristics of this patient.
