Abstract

Acromegaly is a rare disease that occurs in the vast majority of cases due to the appearance of a tumor of the anterior pituitary gland — somatotropinoma and is often characterized by the development of a dental anomaly. This report describes a clinical example of the treatment of a patient with acromegaly who has acquired malocclusion.

Key words:

acromegaly, dental anomalies, growth hormone, distraction osteogenesis
