Abstract:
Periodontal disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypothyroidism are commonly prevalent non-communicable diseases afflicting the human population all over the world, with the added burden on the health care system increasing the overall morbidity. It has been seen through various shreds of evidence that systemic diseases may influence the course of the localized disease and vice versa. Here, we report a case of 38-year-old female periodontitis patient also diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. Periodontitis is one of the complications of diabetes. But the occurrence of periodontal disease is a less common intra-oral finding in hypothyroidism as compared to diabetes. All these three chronic diseases were simultaneously observed in this patient, which is a rare occurrence and can adversely affect her overall prognosis. This case report highlights the need for a systematic interdisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and management of such cases.
摘要:
牙周病,糖尿病,甲状腺功能减退是困扰全世界人口的常见非传染性疾病,随着医疗保健系统负担的增加,总体发病率增加。通过各种证据可以看出,全身性疾病可能会影响局部疾病的进程,反之亦然。这里,我们报告了一例38岁的女性牙周炎患者,同时诊断为糖尿病和甲状腺功能减退。牙周炎是糖尿病的并发症之一。但是,与糖尿病相比,牙周疾病的发生在甲状腺功能减退症中并不常见。在该患者中同时观察到所有这三种慢性疾病,这是一种罕见的情况,可能会对她的整体预后产生不利影响。本病例报告强调了在此类病例的诊断和管理中需要采用系统的跨学科方法。
