Summary
Children with Hypophosphatemic Rickets (HR) show significantly delayed dental development compared to healthy peers. Early medical treatment is crucial to prevent potential permanent deficits in dental growth for HR patients.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Endocrinology
- Genetics
Background:
- Hypophosphatemic Rickets (HR) impacts bone and dentition.
- Limited research exists on dental development in HR patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- Assess dental development in children with HR.
- Compare HR patients to healthy controls.
- Investigate the link between delayed treatment and dental development.
Main Methods:
- Controlled cross-sectional study.
- 21 children with HR and matched healthy controls.
- Demirjian method for dental age assessment.
Main Results:
- HR patients exhibited significant dental developmental delay (0.2–2.5 years).
- Statistically significant difference in dental age between HR and control groups.
- No correlation found between treatment start age and dental delay severity.
Conclusions:
- Dental development is significantly delayed in HR patients.
- Delayed treatment initiation may cause permanent dental deficits.

01:29Bone Disorders
5.9K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

2.1K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

01:27Roles of Electrolytes: Calcium and Phosphate
1.5K
Calcium and phosphate are essential electrolytes in the human body, with calcium being the most abundant mineral. Around 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the skeleton and teeth, forming a crystal lattice of mineral salts in combination with phosphates. Calcium plays crucial roles in various bodily functions such as blood clotting, neurotransmitter release, muscle tone maintenance, and nervous and muscle tissue excitability.

01:31Essential Minerals for Bone Health
7.0K
The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

17.4K
In humans, electrolytes play a vital role in various physiological processes. Balancing electrolyte levels is essential for normal body functions; their imbalance can be life-threatening. The major electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonate. They are primarily involved in physiological processes, such as nerve signal transmission, membrane trafficking, muscle contraction, buffering body fluids, and balancing water levels in the body.
