Abstract
ABSRTACTBackground: Thyroid dysfunction is a common disorder especially in women; this study was conducted to investigatethe effect of salivary constituents' changes on the dental, gingival and periodontal disease among patients withthyroid dysfunction.Materials and methods: A sample composed of 60 females patients with thyroid dysfunction (30 with primaryhyperthyroidism and 30 with primary hypothyroidism) (study groups), their age range was 20-25 years, while controlgroup composed of (30 females) matching with age, all females were examined using the criteria of WHO1987, andperiodontal parameters which include plaque index (PlI), calculus index (CalI), gingival index(GI), and Ramfjod indexfor the loss of periodontal attachment.Results: The total mean values of caries experience were found to be highest in the study groups as compared to thecontrol group, the same results were found for the all periodontal parameters. Salivary pH and flow rate wereobserved to be lower among study groups compared to control group. There were weak correlations betweensalivary organic and inorganic constituents and caries experience for both study and control groups.Conclusion: Patients with thyroid dysfunction showed highly significant differences in dental caries and periodontaldiseases compared to control group. Patients with thyroid dysfunction need special attention for their dental health.Key words: Thyroid dysfunction, dental caries experience, salivary composition.
