Abstract
Periodontitis common oral health problem for children, which involves the inflammation of gum tissue. Hypothyroidism, which is a systemic disorder characterized by the decrease in thyroid hormone levels, has its patients suffering from many dysfunctions in the body. In spite of the fact that they apparently belong to distinct spheres, recent research looks suspiciously for a probable correlation between the two diseases, i.e. gingivitis and hypothyroidism. This paper is a comprehensive narrative review that focuses on explaining the unique relationship between these two conditions in children as it relates to the mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnostic difficulties, and therapeutic approaches. Through the process of literature review syntheses, previously unknown interrelations between hypothyroidism and gingival health are discovered. Therefore, the multidisciplinary approach may be one of the factors that improve the overall condition of the patients with these comorbidities as well as the effectiveness of the treatment due to the partnership through the cooperation between dental and endocrine specialists.
