Metabolic Diseases Flashcards
Most common form of dwarfism
Achondroplasia
Autosomal dominant or sporadic mutation where torso is normal limbs are shortened followed by large head frontal bossing saddle nose
Maxillary hypoplasia and mandibular prognathism
Achondroplasia
Dwarfism caused by undersecretion of GH from ant pituitary gland resulting in short stature, delayed eruption and shedding, microdontia, small jaws causing malocclusion and underdeveloped mandible
Pituitary dwarfism
Overproduction of GH usually due to a pituitary tumor or hyperpituitarism happening before adolescence manifesting enlargement of facial soft tissues hands and feet and mandible with true macrodontia and hypercementosis
Gigantism
Excess peoduction of GH after adolescence resulting in hypertension DM heart disease arthritis peripheral neuropathy renewed growth of bones followed by mand prognathism open bite diastema macroglossia and hypercementosis
Acromegaly
Patient has decreased level of TH shows puffy edematous lethargic face and eyes, dry rough skin dry sparse hair low BMR low body temp., constipation goiter weight gain and cold intolerance

Delayed eruption
Retained milk teeth
Underdeveloped mandible
Macroglossia
Thickened lips
Hypothyroidism in adults
Myxedema
Hypothyroidism in children
Cretinism
Excessive production of T3 and T4 resulting in weight loss nervousness hmtachycardia heat intolerance excessive sweating increased BMR goiter dirrhea EXOPTHALMOS osteoporosis tremors high temp
Hyperthyroidism
Oral manifestations of hyperthyroidism
Premature loss of deciduous teeth and premature eruption of permanent teeth
Classification of hyperthyroidism
Graves disease - diffuse toxic goiter
Plummers disease - toxic nodular goiter
Which drug is contraindicated in a patient with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
Epinephrine - thyroid crisis / storm
Insufficient production of PTH or inability to nake functioning PTH can be congenital iatrogenic or autoimmune resulting in hypocalcemja, tetany, metabolic alkalosis
Hypoparathyroidism
