Laryngopharyngeal reflux, gastroesophageal reflux and dental disorders: A systematic review
Study results supported a higher prevalence of dental erosion and caries in reflux patients compared with healthy individuals. The involvement of reflux in the development of dental disorders is not formally demonstrated. Future investigations should consider pharyngeal acid and nonacid reflux episodes as well as their potential impact on oral microbiota. There is an important heterogeneous between studies about diagnostic methods and clinical outcome evaluation.
