The gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the main causes of dental erosion. The aim of this case presented is to describe the prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with GERD after 4 years of followup. A 33-year-old male patient complained about tooth sensitivity. The lingual surface of the maxillary anterior teeth and the cusps of the upper and lower posterior teeth presented wear. It was suspected that the feeling of heartburn reported by the patient associated with the intake of sports supplements (isotonics) was causing gastroesophageal changes. The patient was referred to a gastroenterologist and was diagnosed with GERD. Dental treatment was performed with metal-free crowns and porcelain veneers after medical treatment of the disease. With the change in eating habits, the treatment of GERD and lithium disilicate ceramics provided excellent cosmetic results after 4 years and the patient reported satisfaction with the treatment.

BACK GR O U ND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent across populations with varied manifestations and substantial morbidity. Our review focuses mainly on the role of dental practitioner in GERD, its oral manifestations and management. GERD shows oesophageal and extra oesophageal syndromes. Oesophageal syndromes are reflux chest pain syndrome, typical reflux syndrome, reflux stricture, reflux esophagitis, oesophageal adenocarcinoma and Barrett’s oesophagus. Extra oesophageal syndromes are reflux cough syndrome, reflux asthma syndrome, reflux dental erosion syndrome, reflux laryngitis syndrome, pharyngitis, and sinusitis. Classic reflux symptoms may be absent in more than half the patients presenting with extra oesophageal symptoms. For this reason, the first provisional diagnosis of GERD may be made by a dental practitioner as a result of clinical observation of enamel erosion. A direct association exists between gastroesophageal reflux disease and oral cavity diseases. Dental practitioner can recognise the secondary manifestations of GERD for early diagnosis and can assist in management of these patients. Traditional management of GERD includes medical therapy, non-medical therapy and surgical therapy, in future dental examination and dental treatment can also be included. There is a lack of awareness among the general physicians regarding the association between GERD and dental erosions. According to the study, 40 % of them are aware of dental erosions in GERD, indicating that there is a need to circulate this information through medical education. There should be an interdisciplinary coordination between family physician, dentist, orthodontist, prosthodontist, and gastroenterologist for treatment of oral manifestations resulting from GERD. This review highlights the role of dental practitioner in management of GERD. KEY WORDS Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Dental Erosion, Oesophagus, Gastric acid, Saliva

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition well defined in the last 15 years. Its management increasingly involves different clinicians such as gastroenterologists and dentists, because of dental erosions attributable to extraesophageal symptoms. This review provides a summary of the oral consequences of GERD, despite the fact that dental erosion can occur every time an acid attacks enamel surfaces, even more so the right diagnosis is crucial and the cooperation between clinicians is advisable.

ABSTRACT Objectives The aim and objectives of this study are to identify oral changes in certain gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, namely gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcerative colitis, gastritis, and to evaluate these oral symptoms as indicators for assessing GI disorders. Materials and methods In this study, the oral manifestations of various GI disorders were assessed in a varying age group of 250 patients in Government Stanley Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. Out of 250 patients, 142 were affected by GERD, 99 were affected by gastritis, and 9 patients were affected by ulcerative colitis. Of these patients, 177 were males and 73 were females. Results Evaluation of patients with gastritis revealed that 66.7% affected with gingivitis, 19.2% with dental erosion on the palatal and lingual aspects of maxillary and mandibular teeth predominantly in the anterior region, 10.1% with periodontitis, 2% with gingival erythema. Among the patients with GERD, 44% of the cases showed dental erosion, 25.5% periodontitis, 9.9% gingivitis, 5.7% gingival erythema, 2.8% palatal erythema, 2.1% gingival ulcers, glossitis 2%, 1.4% floor of the mouth erythema, and 0.7% erythema of the tongue. Patients with ulcerative colitis showed 44.4% of gingival erythema, 33.3% of dental erosions, and 22.2% of gingival ulcers and periodontitis. Conclusion In our study of 250 patients, oral manifestations were observed in 88% of the patients. Both soft tissue and hard tissue changes were evident. There was a high correlation between various GI disease and dental erosion, erythema at various sites of the oral cavity, oral ulcers, gingivitis, periodontitis, and glossitis. Careful evaluation of oral cavity may unveil many GI disorders and help the patient by providing early diagnosis, which further facilitates the prognosis.
