Keywords:
Intestinal Inflammation, Oral Manifestation, DentistryAbstract
The digestive system is responsible for the ingestion, digestion and absorption of nutrients, in addition to the elimination of unabsorbed substances. Pathological conditions such as gastrointestinal infections, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and neoplasms affect its function, impacting quality of life. Celiac Disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, whose oral manifestations, such as enamel defects and ulcers, are important for early diagnosis. Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) also have oral complications such as stomatitis and periodontitis, which help in the diagnosis and monitoring of the evolution of the diseases. These conditions require a multidisciplinary approach, with emphasis on the role of oral health professionals in the early detection and control of oral complications, improving clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life.
