Abstract

Endocrine diseases may have manifestations locally or in a generalized manner. When an imbalance in normal bone homeostasis occurs, regulated by various hormones such as parathyroid hormone, growth hormone it results in conditions like hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia etc. which may affect bone density in a generalized manner. The condition cause: excessive resorption of bone or excessive deposition of bone. Intraoral or extraoral radiographs are thus useful in detecting diseases like hyperparathyroidism, hyperpituitarism, hypoparathyroidism, and hypopituitarism which are subclinical and are detected accidently on routine radiographic examination.

Keywords

Hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism; hyperpituitarism, hypopituitarism: radiography.

Diş Hekimliği Kliniğindeki Radyografik Bakış Açısıyla Baş Boyun Bölgesindeki Endokrin Bozukluklar

Abstract

Endokrin hastalıkları bölgesel veya genel belirtiler gösterebilirler. Normal bir kemikteki paratiroid hormonu ve büyüme hormonu gibi çeşitli hormonlar ile düzenlenen homeostazda herhangi bir dengesizlik meydana geldiği zaman hiperkalsemi ve hipofosfotemi gibi durumlar ortaya çıkar ki bu durumda kemik yoğunluğunun geneli etkilenir. Bu durumun ise; ya kemikte aşırı rezorpsiyona ya da depozisyona yol açar. Dolayısıyla, normal rutin radyograf taramalarda subklinik veya tesadüfi tespit edilen hiperparatiroidizm, hiperpituitarizm, hipoparatiroidizm, ve hipopituitarizm gibi hastalıkların belirlenmesinde intra veya ekstra oral radyograf yöntemi oldukça kullanışlıdır.
