Three patients diagnosed as osteomalacia were described. Their full-mouth X-rays pictures revealed a presence of lamina dura, although it was faintly observed. One patient associated with the Fanconi's syndrome was affected by taurodontism in bilateral mandibular molars, which showed abnormally long enlarged pulp chambers and short root canals on the X-ray pictures The left mandibular second molar was examined histologically and microradiographically. Its ground sections revealed wide irregular zones of interglobular dentin, hypoplastic acellular cementum and embedded vessels in secondary dentin and cellular cementum.
