title: Oral manifestations of gastrointestinal disease.
abstract: A variety of gastrointestinal diseases can be associated with lesions of the oral cavity. The lesions usually correlate to active intestinal disease, but they may present prior to any other evidence of the disease and even be used to initiate diagnosis and treatment. This paper reviews the more common oral manifestations of gastrointestinal disease and their dental management.
