Abstract

Celiac disease is an immunological responsiveness to ingested gluten contained wheat, rye and barley in genetically susceptible individuals. The disease shows non gastrointestinal symptoms as well as gastrointestinal symptoms. Oral manifestations like dental enamel defects and recurrent aphthous stomatitis are common non gastrointestinal symptoms. So dentists must pay attention for these symptoms and may play an important role on early diagnosis of celiac disease.
