Hypothyroidism is characterized as a systemic endocrine disorder that is caused by a dysfunction of the thyroid gland. This produces the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 that are responsible for carrying out the normal functions of the physical body, that is, changes in the secretion of these hormones may be related to some maladjustments in the stomatognathic system. The most common manifestations of congenital hypothyroidism, also known as cretinism, are thick lips, macroglossia, malocclusion and delayed eruption of both dentitions. This study aims to report a case of a child with hypothyroidism and a delay in the chronology of tooth eruption. Patient, female, 9 years and 8 months old, whose main complaint was a delay in the chronology of tooth eruption. On clinical examination, a marked delay in the chronology of tooth eruption was observed. Therefore, it was necessary to refer the patient to a geneticist, who ruled out any syndromic alteration. Then, the patient was referred to the endocrinologist, whose opinion was hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism, tooth eruption, endocrine disorder, child health.
甲状腺功能减退症是一种全身性内分泌疾病，由甲状腺功能障碍引起。甲状腺产生甲状腺激素T3和T4，这些激素负责维持身体的正常功能，也就是说，这些激素分泌的变化可能与口颌系统的某些失调有关。先天性甲状腺功能减退症（又称克汀病）最常见的表现是嘴唇增厚、巨舌、错牙合以及两副牙列萌出延迟。本研究旨在报告一例甲状腺功能减退症患儿牙萌出时间延迟的病例。患者为9岁8个月大的女性，主要诉求是牙萌出时间延迟。临床检查发现牙萌出时间明显延迟。因此，有必要将患者转诊给遗传学家，遗传学家排除了任何综合征性改变。随后，患者被转诊给内分泌学家，内分泌学家诊断为甲状腺功能减退症。甲状腺功能减退症、牙萌出、内分泌疾病、儿童健康。
