title: The oral manifestations of celiac disease: information for the pediatric dentist.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this article was to present a literature review of oral manifestations reported by celiac disease patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  A review of the published literature for oral manifestations present in celiac disease patients was conducted from the following  databases: PubMed(®); MEDLINE; Web of Science; Science Direct; and Scielo.
  
  
  RESULTS
  According to some literature studies, prevalence of enamel defects and recurrent aphthous stomatitis was observed in approximately 10% to 96% and 4% to 41% of 2- to 86-year-old celiac patients,  respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The presence of these clinical features in children may signal the need for early investigation of possible celiac disease, especially in asymptomatic cases.
