ABSTRACT
Background: The comprehensive medical care requires an interdisciplinary intervention, when the physician performs the initial assessment and establishing the diagnosis of a patient, it is important not to overlook oral manifestations that might occur. These manifestations may be primary, which may help establish the diagnosis; we also find oral manifestations secondary as a result of previous medical treatments or as indicators of the degree of systemic deterioration of the patient. Early diagnosis of such events helps the patient’s medical treatment.
Procedures: In this case report, the objective was to interdisciplinary dental diagnosis and treatment of a patient with thyroid disorders. Through medical history, consultation with the medical and dental specialties different established the following
Results: His initial diagnosis was Grave’s disease at 25 years old, initially treated with drug therapy (carbimazole) and subsequently with radioactive iodine, now you have hypothyroidism, which is treated with levothyroxine for life. At present oral mild chronic periodontitis and generalized caries.
Conclusions: An adequate knowledge of disease and its relationship to the oral cavity allows a more complete understanding between oral health and general health. The management of patients with systemic diseases, whose treatment requires the use of therapies that promote an underlying disease, requires close collaboration between health professionals. Likewise, being able to predict and prevent drug interactions is important to optimize the pharmacological responses of drugs and minimize the risk of adverse or toxic reactions thereof. It is the job of doctors and dentists make early diagnosis, timely and effective precisely to channel patients to specialists, in order to give people a bigger picture of interdisciplinary care. Proper diagnosis is essential for a successful outcome.
