Abstract:
Aim To review the manifestations of Addison’s disease and its impact on oral health Objective To understand the cause and prevalence of the disease and oral health in patients with the disease. Background Addison’s disease is a rare endocrine disease in which there is inadequate production of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid. It is a life threatening disorder which causes premature death. It is seen in all age groups and affects male and female equally. This disease is named after Thomas Addison, who first described patients affected by this disorder. Addison's disease can present as a life-threatening crisis, because it is frequently unrecognized in its early stages. The basis of Addison's disease has dramatically changed from an infectious cause to autoimmune pathology since its initial description. However, tuberculosis is still the predominant cause of Addison's disease in developing countries. In patients with this disease the oral mucosa develops a bluish black plaque which affects the buccal mucosa mainly. Other areas or prevalence are gums, palate and tongue. They are treated with corticosteroids. Reason To understand the dental management of patients with Addison's disease Keywords Addison's disease, oral health, cortisol, aldosterone, hypoadrenalism.
