Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the ingestion of gluten causes an immune reaction that damages the small intestine in genetically predisposed individuals. This disease can lead to various systemic and localized health issues, including those affecting the oral cavity. One significant oral manifestation linked to celiac disease is dental enamel defects. A new study explores the connection between celiac disease and dental enamel defects, the potential mechanisms behind these defects, and the role of dentists in early diagnosis and management.
