How does X-linked hypophosphatemia affect dental management?
Recall: establish an early dental home; base recall on abscess history, symptoms, and tooth development.
Imaging: radiographs when clinical findings or developmental assessment justify them; a short recall interval is not an automatic radiograph schedule.
Protection: Seal occlusal surfaces early; consider protective full-coverage restorations (e.g., SSCs) on primary molars
Wear: Avoid attrition and wear that open the pulp horns
Diagnose the infected tooth: assess restorability, primary versus permanent dentition, root maturity, and pulpal/periapical status.
Necrotic primary tooth: appropriate nonvital therapy or extraction.
Permanent tooth: conventional endodontics or an immature-tooth option may be needed, selected for its diagnosis.
Medical coordination: Coordinate metabolic treatment with endocrinology. Improved systemic control supports mineralization but does not establish pulp health or replace treatment of an existing dental infection.

A sinus tract in a caries-free tooth needs pulpal and periapical diagnosis. For confirmed necrosis, choose primary-tooth nonvital treatment or extraction, versus a permanent-tooth endodontic strategy determined by root maturity; coordinate metabolic care separately.
