Description
Summary:ABSTRACT This report describes the oral manifestations of renal tubular acidosis (RTA) associated with secondary rickets and discusses the biological plausibility of these findings. The characteristic electrolyte changes during RTA or genetic mutations that trigger RTA may be responsible for impaired amelogenesis, dental malocclusion, impacted teeth, and absent lamina dura. This report reinforces the possibility of an association between RTA and the oral manifestations described. RESUMO Este relato de caso descreve as manifestações bucais da acidose tubular renal (ATR) associada ao raquitismo secundário e discute a plausibilidade biológica desses achados. As alterações eletrolíticas características da ATR ou as mutações genéticas que a desencadeiam podem ser responsáveis pela amelogênese imperfeita, maloclusão dentária, dentes impactados e ausência de lâmina dura. Este relato reforça a possibilidade de uma associação entre ATR e as manifestações bucais descritas.
