ABSTRACT
Metabolic disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting various biochemical pathways within the human body. While these disorders primarily manifest systemic symptoms, they can also significantly impact oral health and oral cavity structures. This review aims to explore the diverse oral manifestations associated with metabolic disorders, including but not limited to diabetes mellitus, hyperparathyroidism, hypothyroidism, and various storage diseases. These oral manifestations may present as changes in the gingiva, teeth, salivary glands, mucosal tissues, and periodontal tissues. Additionally, metabolic disorders can influence the healing process following oral surgeries and affect dental treatment outcomes. Understanding these oral manifestations is crucial for dental practitioners to provide comprehensive care and collaborate effectively with medical professionals in managing patients with metabolic disorders. This review consolidates existing literature on the topic and underscores the importance in addressing the oral health needs of individuals with metabolic disorders.
