Abstract
The presence of short dental roots can present challenges to the orthodontist both in terms of identifying its aetiology and in subsequent treatment planning. Uncommon causes include hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism, where short roots may be seen in combination with other oral manifestations including enamel hypoplasia secondary to low calcium levels. This case report highlights these features and the orthodontic treatment proposed.
