Abstract

Objective: In this review, various gastrointestinal diseases that can have oral manifestations are emphasized and discussed, given dental practice.
Data source: To find gastrointestinal diseases that manifest in the oral cavities, a thorough search was carried out on PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar.
Study selection: This narrative review synthesizes findings from key studies on oral manifestations of Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, selected based on clinical relevance, impact and expert consensus. Below. A total of 57 studies were reviewed, encompassing clinical reports, observational studies and systematic reviews published between 2000 and 2024.
Conclusion: Dentists must take care when treating individuals with gastrointestinal ailments with periodontal therapy or dental implants because they risk increased bleeding, infection, or malnutrition. Although the frequency and specificity of oral manifestations vary across GIDs, they can precede the underlying disease, facilitating timely diagnosis and interdisciplinary care. Also, the pharmacological management of these individuals might need personalization.
