Description

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common condition that results from the reflux of 
gastric material through the lower esophageal sphincter into the esophagus or oropharynx. The aim of the 
present study was to assess oral manifestations in gastero-oesophageal reflux disease by endoscopy. 
Materials  &  Methods:  The  prospective  study  was  carried  in  the  department  of  Oral  Medicine  & 
Radiology.  The  study  group  consisted  of  50  patients  with  Gastroesophageal  reflux  disease.  The 
presence/absence of various indicators was evaluated for each patient.
Results: We observed that sensitivity and halitosis were most prevalent while tooth wear was least 
observed. In our study we found halitosis was found in more than 90% of cases.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our study suggests that Xerostomia is a significant clinical symptom of 
GERD  patients  and  erythema  of  soft  palate/uvula,  tooth  wear  is  significant  clinical  sign  of  GERD 
patients.
