Oral mucosal health in acromegaly: clinical insights and metabolic associations
Tongue lesions were significantly more prevalent in patients with acromegaly, regardless of disease status or treatment. While general oral health parameters were similar between groups, periodontal inflammation in acromegaly was linked to poor oral hygiene. These findings suggest that acromegaly may be a risk factor for periodontal disease. Routine oral health monitoring is essential in this population.
