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 recur¬rent oral ulcerations, enamel hypoplasia in most of the celiac disease patients. Conclusions: Pedigree analysis offamilies is important to identify the mode of inheritance. Oral mucosal and dental clinical exam¬inations are important in diagnosing and monitoring cases of celiac disease.  ISSN : 1053-4628  Journal Name : Genetic and Dental Study of Patients with Celiac Disease  Volume : 35  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1431 AH 2010 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, October 1, 2012  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email Soliman Ouda Ouda, Soliman Investigator Doctorate   Omar Saadah Saadah, Omar Investigator Doctorate   Omar El Meligy El Meligy, Omar Investigator Doctorate omeligy@kau.edu.sa Sumer Alaki Alaki, Sumar Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  34247.pdf pdf Genetic and Dental Study of Patients with Celiac Disease Back To Researches Page
