The gastrointestinal tract is one continuous tube originating with the oral cavity and terminating at the anus; therefore, it is logical that many conditions affecting the GI tract may have oral manifestations. This live webinar will encompass a journey through the tract, beginning in the oropharynx with an overview of HPV induced oropharyngeal cancer. Next stop will be the esophagus, examining gastroesophageal reflux disorder and its effects on the oral cavity. The final stops will be in the intestines with a synopsis of the inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's and ulcerative colitis) and hereditary intestinal polyposis (Peutz Jegher's syndrome). Cases from Ms. Lukes' personal image collection will be presented with a lively discussion encouraging audience participation. Comparison images for inclusion in differential diagnoses will also be presented, urging dental professionals to utilize all patient information when analyzing lesions. Interdisciplinary and treatment strategies with be discussed for clinical practice applications.
