A case of oxalosis with resorption of alveolar bone and tooth roots

Oxalosis is a rare disorder that deposits calcium oxalate in many organs of the body. We report a case of oxalosis with resorption of alveolar bone and tooth roots. The patient was a 60-year-old man who was given a diagnosis of oxalosis in another hospital and was referred to our hospital because of alveolar bone resorption in the right molar region of the mandible. Clinical and imaging examinations revealed resorption of alveolar bone and many teeth roots. Based on the results of histopathological examination, we attributed the resorption of alveolar bone and tooth roots to deposition of calcium oxalate. With time, resorption of the alveolar bone and tooth roots progressed.
