A case of teeth and jaw changes in primary hyperoxaluria is described. The patient, a 25‐yr‐old man, was treated by kidney transplantation twice, and finally by combined liver and kidney transplantation. The teeth and jaw changes consisted of deposition of oxalate crystals in the gingiva, in the pulp and in the vicinity of bone and dentin. The resorption of bone and dentin was extensive.
