| Core Tip |
Heartburn is a common symptom in both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional heartburn (FHB), which can make it challenging to differentiate between the two conditions. However, examining oral manifestations of GERD can be a valuable tool in distinguishing GERD from FHB. In a study involving 116 patients with heartburn, the prevalence of dental erosions (DE) and periodontal diseases (PD) was evaluated. The findings suggest that dental evaluation in patients with heartburn can aid in the differential diagnosis of GERD and FHB. The presence of both DE and PD appears to be the most reliable predictor of GERD, while the absence of dental disorders is often observed in cases of FHB. |
