[Hypoplasia of enamel. A useful marker in the diagnosis of celiac disease in its subclinical form].
Oral cavity alterations are often indicative sign of chronic gastrointestinal disorders, such as malabsorption and malnutrition syndromes. The relationship between oral pathology and intestinal diseases is rarely a chance association. This prompted odontostomatological research to focus on the study of alterations of the oral cavity, hypotetical markers of intestinal disorders if they can be measured in terms of frequency and incidence, as a tool for the early diagnosis of the intestinal disease itself. This paper should be seen against this background since it examines the possible connection between celiac disease and the presence of oral alterations as an index of disease.
