Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) was a genetic bone disorder that caused dental deformities. Defects in the formation of hard tissues could be analyzed using radiographic imaging. In dentistry, radiographic examination played an important role in diagnosing XLH patients by identifying characteristic radiographic findings of oral cavity pathologies. Objective: This study aimed to supp…
Background: The high prevalence of oral health problems in Indonesia, especially among children, is due to a lack of knowledge about the importance of maintaining dental health.
