Abstract

Acromegaly is an uncommon condition characterized by the excess production of growth hormone after closure of the epiphy-seal plates in the affected patient. The prevalence is believed to be 66 affected patients per million. From a dental perspective, these patients have many aesthetical and functional problems. Especially, mandibuler prognathism, macroglossia, diastema and speech disorders were the most frequent findings. This case report presents the clinical and radiological evaluation of dental findings of seven acromegaly patients.

Özet

Akromegali epifizyel plaklar kapandıktan sonra büyüme hormonunun aşırı salınımı ile karakterize, prevalansı 66/1000000 olan, nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Dişhekimliği yönünden değerlendirildiğinde hastalarda orofasiyal bölgeyi ilgilendiren birçok fonksiyonel ve estetik problemler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Özellikle mandibuler prognati, makroglossi, dialer arasında diestema oluşması ve konuşma bozuklukları sık görülen bulgulardır. Bu olgu sunumunda klinigimize başvuran 7 akromegali olgusunun dental bulguları klinik ve radyolojik olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
