Oral aspects of metabolic disorder Dr. AEBEENA BABU PG
VITAMIN C Ascorbic acid- A water soluble vitamin Plays very important role in synthesis of collagen fibers Vitamin c -obtain through diet. Present –Citrus fruits Green vegetables Tomatoes P otatos
Functions of Vitamin C Synthesis of collagen Helps in the synthesis of neurotransmitter nor epinephrine Metabolism of cholesterol Highly effective antioxidant Decrease the risk of cardiac diseases, strokes and cancer. Decrease the oxidative stress – reduce the risk of diabetic mellitus
Requirements of Vitamin C Infants : range from 35mg Adults : range to 60 mg Pregnant and lactating women – increase their daily intake by 20 mg and 40 mg
SCURVY Clinical Features: Oral effects- Gingival and periodontal tissues Interdental and marginal gingiva – bright red with a swollen, smooth and shiny surface. Fully developed scurvy- Gingiva- boggy, ulcerates and bleeds.
Acute or chronic scurvy- Gingival ulcer Foul breath Severe chronic scurvy : Hemorrhages and swelling in PDL Loss of bone Loosening of teeth
Vitamin B complex
Thiamine (B1) Plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism Its deficiency may lead to “ beri – beri ”- insiduous on onset and chronic in course-sudden death occur Beri – beri –two types Wet Dry
Wet beri beri - Dysautonomia Cardiomegaly High output cardiac failure Peripheral edema Peripheral neuritis Dry beri-beri Same symptoms
Oral manifestation Edema of tongue Loss of its papillae Glossodynia
Requirements Infants : range from 0.3mg Young adults : range to 1.5 mg Pregnant and lactating women-0.4mg -0.5mg
NIACIN (Nicotinic acid) Plays an important role in intracellular oxidation process Deficiency causes pellagra
Clinical features 4D’s - Dementia Dermatitis Diarrhea Death
Disturbed gastrointestinal and neurological functions Nasolabial seborrhea Malar pigmentations Oral manifestations : Generalized stomatitis with burning sensation Swelling Redness ,pain and ulceration etc
Tongue – Red Enlarges Depapillated Bald surface Thickly coated with a grayish pigmentation of the surface Severe case- Deep ulcers o n tongue
Gingiva – Red Swollen Ulcerated Painful lips and Angular chelitis
Riboflavin (B2) Occurs due to malabsorption syndrome Tongue-Reddening Inflammation and depapillation Sore Sometimes ulcerated
MAGENTA GLOSSITIS ( P eculiar form of glossitis) M agenta in color Surface in granular or pebbly due to flattening and mushrooming of the papillae Angular chelitis –reddening with fissures ,painful cracks, dry scaling and ulcerations at the corner of the mouth Lip lesions- white patchy lesion
FOLIC ACID Given during pregnancy Reduce the risk of neurological defects in child Reduce the risk of development of orofacial clefts
CAUSES Malnutrition Pregnancy Malabsorption Drug treatment with phenytoin
Oral manifestation Loss of filliform and fungiform papilla –result in smooth shiny appearance Defective keratinization Gingivitis Oral ulcerations Atrophy of tongue papillae with glossitis
