Modern View on Structural Changes of Teeth in Hyperparathyroidism

The article is devoted to endocrine disorders and their symptoms in the oral cavity. Changes in the functions of the endocrine glands lead to disturbances in metabolic processes in the body and a number of trophic disorders. In this case, dental manifestations of endocrine disorders can have important diagnostic significance, since sometimes they can even precede the manifestation of general clinical symptoms of the underlying disease. For example, endocrine diseases such as diabetes mellitus, dysfunction of the reproductive, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and the hypothalamic-pituitary system show a clear clinical picture in the oral cavity. In this regard, knowledge of the symptoms of such diseases, including by a dentist, helps to identify the early stages of the disease, as well as the correct assessment of local manifestations of general pathology and the choice of effective treatment methods.
