An inactivating PHEX gene mutation with the resultant accumulation of several mineralization-inhibiting proteins (e.g., FGF23) causes skeletal and dental morbidity in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). This prospective case-control study explored the effect of burosumab, an anti-FGF23 antibody, on dental health of children with XLH. Ten children (age 4.3-15 years) with XLH underwent burosumab treatment per protocol. Assessment of their dental status at treatment initiation and after 1 and 3 years of treatment included clinical, laboratory and radiographic evaluation of rickets and dentition. Orthopantomographic examinations of ten healthy sex- and age-matched controls were selected for comparison. Coronal and pulp dimensions of a selected permanent mandibular molar were measured with Planmeca Romexis® software. One year of treatment led to improvement of height z-score (p=0.019) and healing of the rickets (p |
