Dental Manifestations and treatment of Vitamin D Dependent Type 2 Rickets - A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Vitamin D–dependent rickets type II (VDDR-II) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by end-organ resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, resulting in defective calcium and phosphate metabolism. Besides skeletal abnormalities, the condition presents with distinctive dental manifestations that are often underrecognized. This case report describes a 17-year-old female with VDDR-II who exhibited delayed tooth eruption, enamel hypoplasia, widened pulp chambers, multiple carious lesions, periapical patholo-gies, and supernumerary teeth. Clinical and radiographic findings were consistent with rickets-associated dental anomalies.
