Oral Manifestation Of Endocrine Disorders

Disorders of the endocrine system have a significant impact on the normal functioning of our body. A dentist may discover evidence of a disease of which neither the patient nor his physician is aware. The relationship between the mouth and the rest of the body is very important. Because symptoms of Endocrine Disorders can begin insidiously and may be nonspecific, clinical recognition is often delayed for months or years. For this reason, it is important for the dentist to identify the origin of all oral lesions he sees because they represent a potential danger. It is imperative that clinicians are mindful of possible oral-systemic associations, because they can have an impact on the quality of patient care. All the oral manifestations related to endocrine disorders are well highlightened in this current edition of Lambert publication.
