Key Points

To describe the oral, maxillofacial, and radiographic manifestations associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism resulting from vitamin D deficiency.
Conducted clinical intraoral examinations and radiographic assessments of two male patients presenting with secondary hyperparathyroidism secondary to vitamin D deficiency (N=2).
Radiographic evaluation in Case 1 demonstrated generalized root resorption, localized loss of the lamina dura, and slight thickening of the inferior cortical layer of the mandible.
Case 2 exhibited bimaxillary alveolar ridge expansion, pronounced diastemas, and localized lamina dura loss, with both cases presenting a characteristic ground-glass trabecular appearance of the jawbones.
