Chemical determinants of enamel hypoplasia in children with disorders of calcium and phosphate homeostasis

G Nikiforuk et al. J Dent Res. 1979 Mar.

Abstract

Studies of children with disorders of calcium and phosphate homeostasis indicate that hypocalcaemia, but not hypophosphataemia, is a significant and specific factor in the etiology of enamel hypoplasia. Only those teeth were affected that had developed during the hypocalcaemic episodes.
