what is hyperparathyroidsm and what are the symptoms

- Pathophysiology: excess parathyroid hormone, usually adenoma in parathyroid gland 0.1% of population
- Symptoms: hypercalcaemia (confusion, depression, constipation, abdominal pains, bone pains, kidney stones) untreated hypercalcaemia: cardiac dysrhythm

1 of 9

what are the dental considerations for hyperparathyroidms

effects of bone resorption (giant cell lesions, loss of lamina dura around roots), may have had treatment with bisphosphonates

2 of 9

vitamin D deficiency causes...
in adults this condition is called
in children this condition is called

poor bone mineralisation
adults: osteomalacia
kids: rickets

3 of 9

what are the symptoms of vitamin d deficiency

- Diffuse bony pains
- Proximal muscle weakness
- Bone fragility due to defective mineralisation

4 of 9

what is Paget's disease

abnormal bone remodelling- abundant new bone formation, structurally abnormal, prone to fracture

5 of 9

what are the symptoms of Paget's disease

most completely asymptomatic, bone deformities, enlargement of skulls, nerve compression (leads to deafness and spinal cord compression), fractures

6 of 9

what are the dental consideration of paget's disease

Initial diagnosis:
 recognition of radiological features, recognition of dental changes
Established diagnosis:
 care with surgery to bone (infection and fracture risk)
 May be hypercementosis of teeth making extraction difficult
 Awareness of osteosa

7 of 9

what is osteoporosis

loss of bone mass (all components not just calcium) + increased fracture risk

8 of 9

what are the dental considerations of osteoporosis

- Osteoporosis- bisphosphonates/denosumab
Osteonecrosis of the jaw. The risk is higher with: IV bisphosphonates cf oral. Conditions other than osteoporosis
