Oral Manifestations of Celiac Disease – 1 Hour

Description

Celiac disease (gluten sensitive enteropathy) is a common disorder affecting both children and adults. As many people with celiac disease do not present with the classic malabsorptive syndrome, delays in diagnosis are common. Dental enamel defects and recurrent aphthous ulcers, which may occur in patients with celiac disease, may be the only manifestation of this disorder. When dentists encounter these features, they should enquire about other clinical symptoms, associated disorders and family history of celiac disease. Dentists can play an important role in identifying people who may have unrecognized celiac disease. Appropriate referral and a timely diagnosis can help prevent serious complications of this disorder. 

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to learn: 

• Define celiac disease (CD), its prevalence, clinical signs, and pathophysiology.
• Describe how CD impedes the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
• Identify the oral conditions that may serve as risk factors for CD.
• Discuss the differential diagnosis of enamel defects.
• Discuss the importance of early detection and diagnosis.
• Discuss the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.
