Study design: Fifty patients suffering from celiac disease were screened for dental evaluation. They were subjected to clinical genetic examination, pedigree construction, oral mucosal and dental clinical evaluation. Results: An autosomal recessive mode of inheritance was evident in some of the studied cases, while others showed sporadic occurrence. Oral mucosal and dental clinical examinations revealed recurrent oral ulcerations, enamel hypoplasia in most of the celiac disease patients. Conclusions: Pedigree analysis of families is important to identify the mode of inheritance. Oral mucosal and dental clinical examinations are important in diagnosing and monitoring cases of celiac disease.  ISSN : 1053-4628  Journal Name : J Clin Pediatr Dent  Volume : 35  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1431 AH 2010 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Tuesday, May 3, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عمر سعادة Saadah, Omar Researcher Doctorate saadaho@hotmail.com Files File Name Type Description  29683.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
