Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II (VDDR-II) is a rare genetic disorder marked by resistance to vitamin D and severe cases of alopecia. This case report highlights a child's dental issues associated with VDDR-II, including sparse, hypoplastic teeth, profound dentin involvement, and delayed teething.
