Microscopic analyses reveal impaired tooth structure in primary teeth due to vitamin D deficiency, highlighting oral health implications.

These alterations compromise the structural integrity of teeth and may increase the risk of spontaneous dental abscesses. Early identification of such oral manifestations is critical for prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.
