Effects of gastroesophageal reflux on the oral cavity

The American Journal of Medicine
D A Lazarchik, S J Filler

Abstract

The effects of chronic exposure of the oral cavity to gastric acid can be many and varied. Soft tissue symptoms (nonspecific burning and sensitivity) have been mentioned in the literature, but pathognomonic soft tissue lesions have not been documented. Dental erosion can be considered to be the predominant oral manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Erosion begins with subtle changes in the surface enamel and can progress to severe loss of tooth substance. Because the causes of such tooth lesions may be multifactorial, combining the effects of erosion, attrition, and abrasion and because of the subtle changes present in the beginning stages of such lesions, diagnosis may be difficult. Although the basic mechanism of erosion in gastroesophageal reflux patients is the dissolution of enamel and dentin due to acid exposure, a multitude of other factors can modify the effects of gastric acid. Salivary parameters, in particular, may play an important role in affecting oral pH after reflux episodes. Once dental erosion is diagnosed, thorough evaluation is necessary to document the extent of damage and to detect a cause, which may have both intrinsic and extrinsic components. Treatment goals include eliminating the causes of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
