Introduction: Dento-maxillary system changes associated to thyroid disorders are constantly present. Differentiated impairment, depending on the period of evolution of the disease, explains the high percentage of over 60% of cases with parodonthopathy.Aim of the study: Evaluating the oro-maxillo-facial changes in patients with underdose treated hypothyroidism.Methods: The study group comprised 154 patients with hypothyroidism, 132 ...

Introduction: Juvenile hypothyiroidism shows various complications depending on the correctitude of substitutive treatment.Aims of the study: To identify the massive facial changes with occlusive disorders, dental malpositions, altered chronology of dental eruption, periodontal changes in terms of absence of thyroid replacement therapy or drug sub-dosing.Methods: The study group comprised 24 children, 15 girls and 8 boys; 4 cases o...

Introduction: Relative adrenal insufficiency is considered a life threatening event, especially when associated with a serious event like trauma. Recognition and treatment of relative adrenal insufficiency is a challenge for clinical practitioner.Objectives: We wanted to study adrenal dysfunction, diagnostic methods corresponding to the emergency situation for a trauma patient, adaptative capability of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and th...

Introduction: The adrenal incidentaloma is defined as a mass lesion found unexpectedly in an adrenal gland by an imaging procedure performed for another reason than suspected adrenal pathology.Objective: To estimate the incidence of the adrenal mass and to define the algorithm for managing patients with incidental adrenal mass; a comparative analysis to the treatises data. The observational study was set one’s face towards by the adrenal incidental ...

Aims: To evaluate the prevalence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) associated with periodontal disease (P.D).Material and methods: 42 patients with TCA and BP were tested for ANA (Group 1) and 50 patients with TCA without BP (Group 2). Inclusion criterias – absence of other autoimmune diseases associated with positive ANA patients. Thyroid hormone deficiency has established thyroid function. Patien...
