Oral physician has an important role in diagnosing patients with systemic diseases which can save the patient’s life, one such systemic disease which is diagnosed on incidental findings of oral manifestations is hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid hormone plays an important role in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus; influencing the mineralization of bone and teeth. Parathyroid disorder may lead to hyper or hypo secretion of hormone, which results in various oral manifestations. Common oral manifestations in patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPT) are brown tumor, loss of bone density, soft tissue calcification, and dental abnormalities. Dental management of patients with HPT involves a higher risk of bone fracture, whereas in hypo parathyroidism the caries control is the main concern. It is the important that the dentist be aware of the risks and difficulties that may arise during the dental management of these patients.
Earlier the diagnosis better is the treatment. As rightly said mouth is mirror of the body many diseases are diagnosed with oral and maxillofacial manifestations which can be the initial or the only signs of the disease. Thus, emphasizing the role of oral physician in diagnosis and further management of the patient.
