Pulp chamber features, prevalence of abscesses, disease severity, and PHEX mutation in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets

ConclusionEnlarged pulp chambers with altered shape and morphology affected the majority of XLH patients predisposing to recurrent periapical abscesses with fistulae. Dental phenotype was associated with severity of rickets, high serum PTH, and low serum 1,25(OH)2D levels.
