Abstract:
The review of modern literature on congenital hyperinsulinism in children is presented, highlighting the features of the clinical course, nutrition treatment and dynamic monitoring of children. Only a few publications have hypothesized about possible dental problems in children with congenital hyperinsulinism, without specifying and describing them. The risk factors for caries, the specifics of dental care, and ways to improve the quality of life have not been sanctified. The general condition of the child can be so severe that dental problems are not taken into account by specialists of other profiles. The study of risk factors for dental diseases (dental caries, diseases of the oral mucosa, chronic oral sepsis) in children with congenital hyperinsulinism, their prevention, and treatment features is relevant for planning dental support, and it is important to route children in connection with the expected behavioral risk factors for treatment, both underlying and concomitant diseases.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
