Osteopenia Leading to Dystrophy of Alveolar Ridges at Persons Suffering from Hypothyroidism

Abstract

The paper presents the study of features of parodentium microhaemodynamics via laser doppler flowmetry at patients with osteopenia caused by hypothyroidism. The study covered patients of 30-57 years old, among which there were 35 women and 20 men. Adequate hormonal therapy was carried out in the main group. Comparison with the control group where patients refused hormonal therapy was made. The integrated blood flow indicator, blood flow intensity, indicators of active and passive blood flow regulation, level of oxygenation of tissues was defined. The dental status was estimated. Blood test to assess the level of calcium, thyreotrophin-releasing hormone was made. It is defined that the hygienic indexes in the main group are better than in the control one. In the main group the oxygenation level of parodentium tissues is also higher. The resorption of jaw osseous structure in the control group is more expressed. At assessment of CFE index showed considerable number of extracted teeth in the control group. Biochemical indicators in the control group are less stable, which is expressed by considerable distribution of the calcium level in blood of the control group. The study showed that adequate hormonal therapy at hypothyroidism allows considerably reducing changes of jaw osseous structure and ensuring successful prosthetics of oral cavity. Key wordsosteopenia, dystrophy of alveolar ridges, hypothyroidism 65 years old made 1-3 % and 6.2 %among males above 65. Among females aged 18-65 it made 5-8 %, while among females above 65 years old-17.4 % [3].
