Hypothyroidism in children is stratified into congenital thyroid agenesis, which is most likely seen in Down and Turner syndromes, ultimately progressing into cretinism. The annual incidence is ~ 1in 4000newborns(19). They typically present with mental and physical retardation, brady­cardia, dyspnea, large head, short neck, hypertelorism, flat nasal bridge, loss of facial expression and thick textured skin(18, 20). Puffy face is a characteristic feature of hypothyroidism in children (Figure9.1).
In contrast, adulthood hypothyroidism is diagnosed more in women, with a prevalence rate of ~5% in the United States of America, out of which ~0.5% of patients present with clinical valida­tion(21, 22). They present with overweight, dysregulated respiratory rate and myxedema (accumu­lation of subcutaneous polysaccharides), which may evolve into myxedematous crisis, a possibly fatal condition involving multiple organ system failure(23). One of the most reliable tests for hypo­thyroidism includes circulating TSH, T4 and T3 levels (24). Other supplemental investigations include ultrasound and other imaging modalities with or without radioactive tracer. Treatment involves synthetic thyroid hormones such as levothyroxine(23). Craniofacial features of hypothy­roidism are listed in Table9.2.
9.6.2  Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is characterised by increased circulating plasma levels of thyroid hormones due to hyperactivity of the thyroid gland. The aetiology is multifactorial within the exogenous and endog­enous realm. The use of a particular class of medications (anti- arrhythmic or potassium channel blockers) and beyond physiologic levels of synthetic thyroid hormone are contributors toGrave’s disease, toxic nodular goitre and post- partum thyroiditis(25). The annual incidence ofGraves’s dis­ease is ~0.5% cases per 1000 people, and goitre constitutes about ~20% of thyrotoxicosis(26).

Hyperthyroidism has a female predilection and occurs around peri- puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Clinical manifestations span Grave’s orbitopathy, exophthalmos (Figure 9.2), tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, heat intolerance, weight loss, fatigue, restlessness and erythema of the skin involving many organ systems(11, 27). Exophthalmos is a characteristic feature of hyperthyroidisim (Figure 9.2). Diagnosis encompasses lab values of thyroid hormones, TSH and imaging. Treatment involves antithyroid medications such as propylthiouracil, carbima­zole, steroids, radioactive iodine, beta- blockers and surgery(28, 29). Craniofacial features of hyperthyroidism are listed in Table9.2.
9.7   Parathyroid Functions inHealth
9.7.1  Parathyroid Anatomy andPhysiology
Two pairs of small pea- sized parathyroid glands are located adjacent to the thyroid gland in the anterior neck. Parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone, a polypeptide which regulates cal­cium in the peripheral bloodstream by absorption and maintenance in the bones, intestines and

kidneys(30). It facilitates the production of vitamin D and calcitriol (1,25- dihydroxycholecalciferol and maintains phosphorus in the proximal and distal tubules of the kidney. PTH has an impact on bones by stimulating osteoclasts, leading to resorption, osteoblasts, and their expression of receptor activator for nuclear factor kappa- B ligand (RANKL) to differentiate into osteocytes and inhibits osteoprotegerin for preferential osteoclastic variation (31).
Dysregulation characterised by over or underactivity is recognised by the negative feedback mechanism to conserve serum calcium levels. Understanding the complex mechanism of PTH is significant in managing relevant clinical outcomes(32, 33).
9.8   Parathyroid Dysfunction andIts Oro- facial Manifestations
9.8.1  Hypoparathyroidism
Hypoparathyroidism is less common and is caused predominantly by congenital, autoimmune conditions, injury to the parathyroid gland iatrogenically due to surgery and uncommon genetic aberrations such as DiGeorge syndrome, hemochromatosis and thalassemia. The appropriate prevalence of hypoparathyroidism in the United States is 0.004%(34).
Hypoparathyroidism in children is scarce. Clinical manifestations include congenital cardiac defects, craniofacial disorders, cleft lip/palate, susceptibility to dental caries, enamel fractures and longstanding infections. Adults tend to have cardiac arrhythmia, bronchospasm, abdominal pain, seizures, tetany, paresthesia, alopecia and muscle cramping. Positive Chvostek indicating hyperexcitable facial nerve and Trousseau signs are clinically effective in identifying hypocalce­mia, arterial occlusion and nerve excitability. History, clinical exam, serum hormone and calcium levels with supporting images aid in diagnosis. The most common treatment options include PTH hormone replacement, vitamin D and calcium supplements (35). Craniofacial features of hypoparathyroidism are listed in Table9.3.

9.8.2  Hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism is described as elevated levels of parathyroid hormone due to hyper­plasia, adenoma or rarely malignancy resulting in hypophosphatemia and hypercalcemia. Hyperplasia isobserved in multiple endocrine neoplasias (MEN) types I and II A with tumours

and hypercalcemia. Carcinomas and adenomas are sporadic and characterised by excessive urina­tion, thirst, constipation, bone pain, depression, fatigue and renal calculi, commonly known as stones, groans, bone and psychiatric moans. They are commonly treated by surgical resection.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is most commonly detected in end- stage renal disease, vitamin D deficiency and GI disorders. Chronic renal failure is accompanied by increased phosphate and decreased calcium and vitamin D absorption. GI malabsorption is seen in the setting of reduced calcium and phosphate alongside elevated levels of PTH(36).
Persistently excessive secretion of PTH following secondary hyperparathyroidism results in con­sequential tertiary hyperparathyroidism, which most likely follows renal transplantation and resolves essentially(31).
Brown tumours are pathognomonic of hyperparathyroidism. They are uncommon benign osteo­lytic lesions owing to excessive osteoclastic activity induced by abnormal PTH production. Clinical features include pain, swelling (Figure9.3) and pathological fracture of the bone.Radiographs reveal the expansion of the lingual cortex, and panoramic views show radiolucencies. CT scans show expansile lesions (Figure9.4a– c). Microscopically, multinucleated- like giant cells within con­nective tissue, haemorrhage, hemosiderin deposition and extravasation of RBCs are classic(37, 38). Craniofacial features of hyperparathyroidism are listed in Table9.3.
9.9   Adrenal Functions inHealth
Adrenal glands are small endocrine glands weighing ~5– 10 g located bilaterally superior on each kidney(39). The outer surface adrenal cortex secretes glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralo­corticoids (aldosterone) and androgens. The inner medulla secretes catecholamines (epineph­rine and nor- epinephrine)(40). Aldosterone is crucial for maintaining blood pressure through the renin- angiotensin system, extracellular fluid reabsorption of sodium and water and excre­tion of potassium(41). Primary functions of cortisol include metabolism, regulation of blood glucose, lipids, and proteins, maintaining hemostasis, blood pressure, cardiovascular function, inhibition of osteoclast and immune and stress management(42). Its anti- inflammatory actions are contingent on inhibitory activity of leucocyte function, endothelial expression and corre­sponding neutrophil attraction, prostaglandin secretion, lysosome and cytokine release(43).

9.9.1  Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal Axis (HPTA)
Like other endocrine organs, cortisol secretion is regulated by the hypothalamus– pituitary– adrenal axis (HPAA). The hypothalamus releases corticotropin- releasing hormone (CRH) to manage diur­nal rhythm as an outcome of stress. CRH triggers ACTH stimulation in response to serum cortisol levels via a negative feedback mechanism(44). Cortisol secretion follows a circadian pattern, and the highest serum levels are observed early in the morning(45). Optimal cortisol secretion in 24 hours is ~20 mg; however, cortisol levels increase and are disrupted during infection, neoplasm, surgery and stress(46).
9.10   Adrenal Dysfunction andIts Oro- facial Manifestations
9.10.1  Adrenal Insufficiency
Addison’s adrenal insufficiency (AI) is outlined in primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary AI is chiefly caused by the autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex, surgical removal of the adre­nal gland and idiopathic infections(47). Secondary AI is most likely due to a pituitary gland tumour leading to suppressing pituitary hormones and the HPA axis. Tertiary AI occurs as a result of persistent administration of extrinsic systemic steroids(48). Chronic use of exogenous steroids has been used by ~2% of adults in the United States, which justifies the rationale for tertiary AI(49). The incidence of AI is observed to be ~1in 10,000/20,000newborns(50). ~3in 10,000 cases are reportedly due to disrupted HPA axis.

Clinical features of AI include overall weakness, anorexia, mental depression, nausea, vomit­ing, abdominal pain, myalgia, arthralgia and hyperpigmentation (bronzing) of skin and mucosa (Figure 9.5) (51, 52). Diagnosis is established based on the serum levels of cortisol, their corre­sponding peptide hormones, and ACTH stimulation tests(52). Management includes monitoring blood pressure, rehydration, and topical and extrinsic steroid supplementation. Adrenal crisis is a debilitating life emergency that arises in patients with primary AI. It is intensified by surgery, infection or when the demand for cortisol is unmet(53, 54).
9.10.2  Hypercortisolism
The most common cause of Cushing syndrome/hypercortisolism originates from someone being administered external corticosteroids(55). Endogenous Cushing syndrome is less common than AI, with an annual incidence of ~1– 2 per one million population annually(56). Patients with Cushing syndrome classically present with muscle weakness/myopathy, osteoporosis, bone fractures, psychosis/cognitive dysfunction, kyphosis, hypertension (cushingoid or moon facies) (Figure 9.6), hyperglycemia, peptic ulcer, glaucoma, weight gain (Buffalo hump), hirsutism, acne, plethoric facies, oral infections and purple– red abdominal striae (57). However, the manifestations can be ACTH- dependent or independent. Overnight dexamethasone suppression test, late- night salivary cortisol and 24- hour urinary- free cortisol have helped navigate towards the diagnosis(58). Management of Cushing syndrome comprises surgical removal of adrenal or pituitary tumours and disorders involving every organ system that impairs normal cortisol secretion(59).
9.11   Carbohydrate Metabolism inHealth
Carbohydrate metabolism comprises biochemical events engaging the production of glucose, breakdown, absorption into the bloodstream and utilisation by the tissues. The metabolic pathways involve glycogenesis (production of glycogen), glycogenolysis (breakdown of glyco­gen), glycolysis (breakdown of glucose to pyruvate), gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose from a non- carbohydrate source) and other transition reactions(60). Insulin is the prime regulator in

preserving glucose homeostasis. Insulin enhances glucose uptake in the muscle, inhibits glucose production by the hepatocytes and decreases lipolysis (61). Dysregulation of insulin metabolism leads to hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus.
117
9.12   Carbohydrate Metabolism Disorders andTheir  Oro- facial Manifestations
9.12.1  Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a diverse group of metabolic diseases with defects in insulin secretion, action, or both by beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans with characteristic hyperglycemia. Approximately 38 million patients with a primary DM diagnosis visit their physician offices globally. Over 1.5million deaths have been attributed to DM, making it the eighth leading cause of mortality(62). Three distinct types of DM are type 1 (previously known as juvenile or insulin­dependent DM), type 2 (non- insulin- dependent DM) and gestational DM(63).
9.12.1.1  Type 1 DM
Type 1 DM is caused mainly by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells after an insu­lin deficiency(63). Type 1 DM accounts for 5– 10% occurring in childhood and adolescence with thin body stature and rapid clinical onset. Pathology in glucose metabolism, absorption and utili­sation owing to consumption of energy sources from lipids and proteins(64). It favours an unsta­ble disease control derived from an acute onset resulting in a severe complication of diabetic ketoacidosis.
9.12.1.2  Type 2 DM
Type 2 DM ranges from insulin shortage to resistance with secretory dysregulation. Type 2DM accounts for 90– 95% of the cases prevalent in middle age group(65). Risk factors include age,

genetic predisposition, lifestyle, environmental factors and cardiovascular and renal disease comor­bidities(66). Hyperglycemia is the central feature with associated gluconeogenesis and glyco genolysis leading to polyphagia (increased food intake), polyu­ria (frequent urination in the setting of increased osmolarity) and polydipsia (increased thirst)(63).
Advanced glycation end products are vital in the underlying pathology of DM. These are glycated proteins or lipids resulting from glucose binding and prolonged hyperglycemia. Increased tissue destruction is directly proportional to the level of hyperglycemia and its duration of exposure (67). Complications included but are not limited to micro­angiopathy resulting in nephropathy and retinopathy, long- term damage and dysfunction of cardiac and

renal vessels from macroangiopathy, neuropathy owing to peripheral neuropathy, frequent infections and delayed wound healing(68, 69).
Oral manifestations include hyposalivation, oral infections such as oral candidiasis, dental caries secondary to hyposalivation (Figure9.7), diabetic sialadenosis, periodontal disease, oral paresthesia, taste alteration, burning mouth and dysphagia(70). Glycemic index and perio­dontitis have an established bidirectional link(71). The noteworthy question has been whether periodontal infection can worsen or if periodontal treatment improves glycemic index. Someliterature has proven reasonable diabetic control has a similar periodontal status as non­diabetic, and poor control has led to gingivitis, clinical attachment loss and periodontitis. The background involves the production of inflammatory mediators, signalling, increased matrix metalloproteinase (collagenase) activity, immune mediation, impaired neutrophil activity, constant exposure to AGEs and reactive oxygen species, ultimately resulting in tissue destruction(72– 74).
Labs based on plasma blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) tests help under­stand the pattern of DM. HbA1C is the glucose bound to haemoglobin that describes the effectiveness of long- term therapy and can be performed in a non- fasting individual(75). HbA1C above 6.5% and plasma glucose level >180 mg/dl are deemed hyperglycemia, indicating complications(76). Oral glucose tolerance test has also helped provide an initial diagnosis of DM and gestational DM(77).
9.12.2  Gestational DM
This type of DM occurs during pregnancy. Approximately 2– 10% of women during pregnancy acquire insulin resistance alongside other hormonal changes, and 60% of the women develop type 2 DM with an established diagnosis of gestational DM(77). Age, body mass index (BMI), family history, comorbidities and oral contraceptive pills are all contributing risk factors. OGTT and HbA1C help attain initial and manage established diagnosis. Oral hypoglycemics, in some cases of insulin and periodic follow- up, may prevent complications such as premature labour or an over­weight baby(78, 79).

9.13   Mucopolysaccharidosis
Chondroitin, dermatan, heparan and keratan sulfates are glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) exam­ples(80). Mucopolysaccharidosis occurs when enzymes are deficient in metabolising one of the GAGs(81). A diverse group of metabolic diseases is displayed in an autosomal recessive man­ner. They are further classified as syndromes I- H, I- S, II, III- A, III- B, IV- A, IV- B, VI conditional on the enzyme deficiency alpha- L- iduronidase, iduronate- 2- sulfatase, heparan- N- sulfatase, alpha- N- acetylglucosaminidase, galactose- 6- sulfatase, beta- galactosidase and arylsulfatase B, respectively(82).
Clinical features vary depending on the type of syndrome and manifest with diminished intel­lectual ability, growth deficit, ocular blindness, congenital cardiac abnormalities and musculoskel­etal disorders(83). Patients may present with macroglossia, gingival hyperplasia, thin enamel and multiple impacted teeth(84).
Excessive amounts of GAGs and the deficiency of enzymes confirm the diagnosis of mucopoly­saccharidosis(85). There is no specific treatment to manage mucopolysaccharidosis, and it depends on the intellectual ability and longevity of the patient. Enzyme replacement therapy, managing complications of another organ system, improving patient’s well- being and managing dental abnormalities have been helpful(86).
9.14   Protein Metabolism inHealth
119
Protein metabolism denotes a cascade of events involving synthesising proteins and amino acids by transcription, translation and protein catabolism(87). These processes involve multiple enzymes and biochemical steps at the cellular and molecular level for energy production, growth, matura­tion and to meet the metabolic needs of the vital organs(88). Any discrepancy in these stages may result in defects with clinical presentations affecting different organs.
9.15   Protein Metabolism Disorders andTheir Oro- facial Manifestations
9.15.1  Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by abnormal amyloid buildup deposition in different organ systems(89). Amyloidosis presents with multiple complications such as chronic infections, cuta­neous involvement, multiple myeloma and systemic dissemination dependent on the organ involved(90). This systemic disorder is classified based on the precursor protein, systemic or local­ised (organ- specific). Organ- limited amyloidosis is a local deposition of amyloid nodules, less likely in the oral mucosa, with characteristic light chains(91). Systemic amyloidosis occurs in several other forms, such as primary and myeloma- associated, secondary, hemodialysis and heriditofamilial amyloidosis(89).
Primary and hereditary associates are observed mostly in older adults involving light chains. It results from a dyscrasia of plasma cells and is directly related to multiple myeloma(92). Signs and symptoms include fatigue, orthostatic hypotension, neuropathy, mucocutaneous lesions, petechiae and hepatomegaly. Macroglossia, sporadic jaw claudication and amyloid infiltration in salivary glands may cause xerostomia and hyposalivation(93). Whereas secondary amyloidosis is

developed due to abnormal cleavage of amyloid, resulting in chronic inflammation, tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, rheumatic disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Major organs such as the heart, liver, kidney, spleen and adrenal are affected(94). Dialysis- related amyloidosis occurs in the setting of chronic dialysis patients where there is abnormal beta2- microglobulin deposition. As the name extends, hereditary amyloidosis occurs due to gene mutations in most types with autosomal domi­nant inheritance(95).
Histologic analysis of oral biopsy may demonstrate deposition of eosinophilic acellular deposits in the lamina propria in a perivascular fashion. In addition, staining using Congo red dye usually highlights abnormal protein deposits with characteristic apple green birefringence viewed under polarised light. This method is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of amyloid deposits(96). Surgery, renal transplantation, medical management, genetic counselling and supportive treat­ment for underlying cardiac and renal conditions have been some moderately successful manage­ment modalities(97).
9.16   Lipid Metabolism inHealth
Lipid metabolism is the production and degradation of lipid molecules involving energy production and the formation of an integral part of the cell membrane. Lipid metabolism disorders may result in cardiovascular diseases after increased plasma levels of lipoprotein, triglycerides or inherited storage diseases secondary to defective lipid metabolism(98).
9.17   Lipid Metabolism Disorders andTheir Oro- facial Manifestations
9.17.1  Lipid Storage Disease
It is a rare heterogeneous group of disorders with a deficiency of certain lipid enzymes, resulting in accumulation and storage at the cellular level. It happens to store lipid molecules in the lys­osomes and hence gains its name, lysosomal storage disease, for a similar reason. It is commonly observed in Ashkenazi Jewish descent(99).
9.17.2  Gaucher Disease
Gaucher disease is the frequently occurring reticuloendothelioses due to the accumulation of glucosylceramide in the setting of deficient glucocerebrosidase(100). It is further divided into types 1, 2 and 3 based on the central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Patients are generally asymptomatic due to involvement of the gene in a heterozygous fashion. Specific manifesta­tions include bone pain and infarction due to the accumulation of lipid glucocerebroside in the bone marrow replacing hematopoietic cells. Abnormal collection in the spleen and liver affects the reticuloendothelial system and neurologic deficit from CNS involvement(101). Oral manifesta­tions include reduced salivary flow, mucosal pigmentation, increased risk for oral infections, lymph node involvement, increased bleeding tendency and dental caries. There is radiographic evidence of thinning of cortices and loss of trabeculation, obliteration of the inferior alveolar canal, and honey- combed radiolucencies of the mandible (102). Genetic counselling and enzyme replacement have been effective yet expensive choices. Cost- effective treatment choices are still under review(103).
