gluten/dental caries

After a review of the pertinent literature the effect is described of gluten-dependent coeliac disease on the condition of the oral cavity and teeth in children. Attention is called to the condition of the parodontium on the occurrence of developmental abnormalities of hard dental tissuses and

BACKGROUND Celiac disease is a T cell mediated-inflammatory enteropathy caused by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals carrying HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. The immunogenic gliadin epitopes, containing multiple glutamine and proline residues, are largely resistant to degradation by

BACKGROUND Patients with celiac disease (CD) have a wide variety of symptoms, from being asymptomatic to having chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, and extraintestinal symptoms. In the oral cavity, enamel defects and recurrent aphthous stomatitis are the most common symptoms. The aim of the study was

Gluten sensitivity is one of the prominent features of celiac disease (CD) which is an autoimmune disorder characterized by damaged lining of the small intestine. CD was known already to ancient Greeks as κοιλιακός (keeleeakoss) i.e. disease of the abdominal cavity hence celiac. Focus of this

Oral mucosal lesions or dental enamel defects may be the only presenting features of coeliac disease. A series of 128 patients with coeliac disease (CD) on a gluten-free diet (GFD), 8 patients with a newly diagnosed CD, and 30 healthy controls participated in a clinical and histopathological study

The aim: To identify the leading pathogenetic factors of dental caries in children with celiac disease. Material and methods: The study included 48 children with a confirmed

Rothia mucilaginosa, a natural microbial inhabitant of the oral cavity, cleaves gluten (gliadin) proteins at regions that are resistant to degradation by mammalian enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent the R. mucilaginosa cell-associated enzymes abolish gliadin immunogenic

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) recognition system was devised for selective determination of an immunogenic gluten octamer epitope, PQQPFPQQ. For that, a thin MIP film was devised, guided by density functional theory calculations, and then synthesized to become the chemosensor recognition

Detoxification of gluten immunogenic epitopes is a promising strategy for the treatment of celiac disease. Our previous studies have shown that these epitopes can be degraded in vitro by subtilisin enzymes derived from Rothia mucilaginosa, a natural microbial colonizer of the oral cavity. The

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated enteropathy induced by dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Saliva harbors the second highest bacterial load of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after the colon. We hypothesized that enzymes produced by oral bacteria may be involved

BACKGROUND Coeliac disease (CD) or gluten-sensitive enteropathy is a chronic gastrointestinal disease of children and adults. An experimental model using inbred germfree rats has been developed to study the effects of intragastric gliadin application on intestinal mucosa. METHODS AVN strain Wistar

Stomatological examination was carried out of 38 children with coeliac disease. The condition of teeth with regard to caries was better than in children without coeliac disease. Occlusal abnormalities were noted in one-third of patients, in one-third of children with mixed teeth the dental age was

Celiac disease (CD) is a lifelong immune-mediated disorder caused by the ingestion of wheat gluten in genetically susceptible persons. Most cases of CD are atypical and remain undiagnosed, which exposes the individuals to the risk of life-threatening complications. Serologic endomysial and tissue
