Oral cavity and systemic diseases-gastroesophageal reflux disease

Abstract

Several gastrointestinal disorders affect the oral cavity, and also the tissues around the mouth in the maxillo-facial region. In some cases, oral signs may be present in the absence of obvious gastrointestinal complaints or signs and also may suggest the disease. In this review we summarize some oral abnormalities in patients affected by the gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
