Abstract
A case is presented in which the lamina dura completely disappeared around all the roots of the teeth in secondary hyperparathyroidism as a result of chronic renal insufficiency and hemodialysis. The literature concerning the various systemic conditions affecting the lamina dura is discussed. The meaning of its discontinuity or disappearance as a diagnostic consideration is emphasized.
