Abstract EN
Most cases of hypophosphatasia (HPP) exhibit early loss of primary teeth.
Results of microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis of teeth with HPP have rarely been reported.
The purpose of the present study was to describe the mineral density distribution and mapping of exfoliated teeth from an HPP patient using micro-CT.
Four exfoliated teeth were obtained from a patient with HPP.
Enamel and dentin mineral densities of exfoliated teeth were measured on micro-CT.
The mean values of enamel and dentin mineral densities in mandibular primary central incisors with HPP were 1.61 and 0.98 g/cm3, respectively.
The corresponding values in the mandibular primary lateral incisors were 1.60 and 0.98 g/cm3, respectively.
Enamel hypoplasia was seen in the remaining teeth, both maxillary and mandibular primary canines and first and second molars.
Micro-CT enables nondestructive, noninvasive evaluation and is useful for studying human hard tissues obtained from patients.
