Metabolic disorders of the jaw bones comprise a group of conditions in which systemic alterations in mineral metabolism, hormonal balance, and bone remodeling processes affect the structure and function of the maxilla and mandible. The jaws are highly dynamic bones that constantly undergo remodeling due to mastication, tooth eruption, and functional loading, making them particularly sensitive to metabolic disturbances. Conditions involving calcium, phosphate, vitamin D, and endocrine regulation may lead to changes in bone density, delayed healing, altered tooth support, and characteristic radiographic appearances. Clinically, patients may present with jaw enlargement, pain, tooth mobility, or incidental findings during routine dental examination. From a pathological standpoint, understanding the underlying metabolic mechanisms is essential for distinguishing these disorders from inflammatory or neoplastic conditions. Early recognition by dental professionals plays a vital role in identifying associated systemic diseases and planning safe dental treatment.
