title: Oral and dental manifestations of celiac disease.
abstract: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by the malabsorption of nutrients because the villi of the small intestines are unable to process these nutrients. It is brought on by gluten food products. A pattern of enamel defects and oral aphthae are common findings in celiac disease, thus making the dentist an integral part of the diagnostic team.
