Acromegaly, caused by excess Growth Hormone, significantly alters adult craniofacial structures and the stomatognathic system. This study details these cephalometric changes and their link to jaw dysfunction.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder caused by excess Growth Hormone (GH) secretion in adults.
  • GH excess leads to somatic and metabolic disturbances, significantly impacting the stomatognathic system.
  • Characteristic craniofacial changes include mandibular overgrowth and altered maxilla-mandible-skull relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the qualitative and quantitative craniofacial cephalometric disorders in acromegaly.
  • To emphasize the implications of these disorders in the development and progression of stomatognathic system dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Cephalometric analysis was used to evaluate craniofacial structures.
  • Qualitative and quantitative assessments of skeletal and dental relationships were performed.

Main Results:

  • Acromegaly results in specific craniofacial configurations, notably excessive mandibular development.
  • Structural bony issues and asymmetries contribute to periodontal, muscular, and articular disturbances.
  • Altered cephalometric relationships are evident in the maxilla, mandible, and skull.

Conclusions:

  • Acromegaly induces significant craniofacial and stomatognathic system alterations.
  • Cephalometric analysis is crucial for understanding the pathogenesis of acromegaly-related dental and jaw dysfunctions.
  • These findings highlight the importance of addressing craniofacial changes in managing acromegaly patients.
