Özet: Disorders of the endocrine system, bone metabolism and other systemic diseases may have an effect on the form and function of bone and teeth.

Oral radiographic manifestations are not always present in given patient and the degree of expression is highly variable and it may reflect the severity and duration of the systemic disease.
