Hypopituitarism is a disorder caused by a reduced level of trophic hormones that may be consequent on different destructive processes. The clinical manifestations depend on the type of hormone involved. A deficiency of growth hormone (GH) in children causes the lack of growth known as pituitary dwarfism. The case is reported of a patient with pituitary dwarfism, multiple dental anomalies, functional prosthetic problems, and a revision of the literature. She was subjected to prosthetic rehabilitation without surgical intervention, using zirconium substructures, thus eliminating the potential complications that may require trauma surgery. The therapeutic approach adopted led to excellent results and restored an aesthetic smile.
垂体功能减退症是一种由促激素水平降低引起的疾病，这可能是由不同的破坏性过程导致的。临床表现取决于所涉及的激素类型。儿童生长激素（GH）缺乏会导致生长不足，即垂体性侏儒症。本文报道了一例垂体性侏儒症患者，伴有多种牙齿异常、功能性修复问题，并对相关文献进行了综述。该患者在未进行手术干预的情况下，使用锆基底层结构进行了修复治疗，从而避免了可能需要创伤性手术的潜在并发症。所采用的治疗方法取得了极佳的效果，恢复了美观的笑容。
