Oral Manifestations Associated with Gastrointestinal Disorders, 2nd Edition

Course overview

A number of systemic conditions and diseases have manifestations in the oral cavity. This is especially true of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. This basic-level course is for dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants who desire information on oral manifestations associated with GI disease. This information may be helpful in making an oral diagnosis and in subsequent treatment planning. The dentist should collaborate closely with the patient's family physician when treating patients diagnosed with GI diseases or disorders, as these disorders can have direct and indirect effects upon oral health, which is an essential component of optimal systemic health.¿
