Keywords:
thyroid gland, hypothyroidism, oral manifestations.Abstract
The hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder characterized by the systemiccharacter of the thyroid gland dysfunction. The T3 and T4 thyroid hormones are
necessary to fulfill with the normal functions of the physical body. Thus, the
alterations in the T3 and T4 secretion may be associated with changes in the
stomatognathic system. Among the changes are included the condylar hypoplasia,
the mandibular or maxillary atresia, the underdeveloped mandible, the hypoplasia
of the enamel and the dentine, the taurodontism and the delay of dentition as well
as the radicular development. Thus, it is essential that stomatologist know on the
local or systemic manifestations associated with this endocrine disorder. The aim of
present paper is to approach the systemic and oral changes in patients presenting
with hypothyroidism, as well as the better management and care applied during the
dental treatment. The data collection was thorough the selection of articles
published on the oral manifestations in patients presenting with hypothyroidism in
large databases like Bireme, Scielo and Medline. The hypothyroidism is a common
system disease that occasionally have oral manifestations known by the
stomatologists since they are patients needing special care during the stomatologic
treatments. Also, must to be considered the drug interaction in these patients, since the drugs regularly prescribed in stomatology may to provoke adverse
reactions. It is necessary that surgeon knows on the appropriate procedures in the
treatment of hypothyroidism patients.
