Abstract: Discovering the dependence of changes in the hard tissues of intact teeth in patients with thyroid disorders. The changes in macro-and trace elements composition of dental hard tissues in healthy subjects and patients with Thyroid Gland Pathology (TGP) were uncovered using scanning electron microscopy («FE Quanta 200 3D», the Netherlands). Reduction of the Ca/P ratio in the hard teeth tissues of patients with TGP compared to the control group. Teeth enamel of the control group contains 4% more calcium than the primary group. The changes in morphology structure of hard teeth tissues were studied in patients with TGP compare to healthy patients. The diameter of the enamel prisms and dentinal tubules in teeth of patients with TGP is different than in the control group. Cement characterized by spongy structure in patients with TGP.
