Is There a Connection between Tooth loss and Gastrointestinal Disorders?-A Mini Review

Abstract

Objective: This mini review intended to study association between tooth loss and gastrointestinal disorders. Data Sources: There was a manual search of major journals and references in the reference list as well as electronic databases such as Springer Link, Science Direct, and PubMed. Duration: January 2000 and December 2021 Methods and Results: A total of 116 papers covering 17 categories of decontamination procedures were included in this evaluation. Among the decontamination techniques used were coatings, mechanical cleaning, laser treatment and photodynamic therapy, as well as air polishing and anodizing. Other techniques included radiation, sonication and thermal treatment. Biofilm generation and decontamination on titanium implants may be prevented and eliminated using most of the disinfection techniques studied. For future study in the creation of novel dental implants and decontamination processes, this narrative systematic review gives a description of methodologies. Keywords: Tooth loss, gastrointestinal diseases, chewing efficiency, nutritional intake and nutrition are some of the topics covered in this article.
