Dental findings in the diagnosis of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism.

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IHP) is a rare endocrinopathy, characterized by the disturbances in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, owing to deficiency in parathyroid hormone, which leads to tetanic manifestations. Onset of the clinical features occurs early in life, and the severity depends on the extent of chemical imbalance. This article describes a case of 22-year-old patient undiagnosed for 12 years with this endocrinopathy (IHP).
