Article Abstract
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, caused by a permanent intolerance to gluten, that occurs in genetically predisposed individuals. It causes enteropathy. In these individuals a prolonged exposure to gluten increases the risk of developing other pathologies, which may affect both developing dentition and oral mucosa. Clinical presentations are various and atypical. Celiac patients may have enamel hypoplasia, higher prevalence of dental caries, delayed eruption of teeth and lower jaw growth. These factors predispose to malocclusion.
