Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is chronic inflammatory disease of the proximal small intestine. It is caused by hypersensitivity to gluten proteins, rays and barley, which damage the intestinal mucous membrane, creating conditions for malabsorption. In addition to intestinal, classic forms of the disease, extraintestinal manifestations may occur. Aphthae in the oral cavity, defects of the enamel, caries, delayed tooth erupting, atrophic glossitis and angular cheilitis are some of them. Serological examination of patients with minimal symptoms and in patients with extraintestinal and atypical gastrointestinal symptoms would improve the timely diagnosis. By careful dental examination of the cavity with a special focus on these changes, we can contribute to early diagnosis of the CD. The education of patients about oral manifestations of CD can improve the quality of life of these patients.
