Abstract
Very often in his practice, the dentist encounters diseases such as recurrent aphthous stomatitis and desquamative glossitis. The incidence of these diseases can vary from 5% to 50% depending on the population studied, diagnostic criteria and environmental factors. These diseases are closely related to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and may be their first manifestations, which is an urgent problem and requires the joint work of specialists in various fields: dentists and gastroenterologists. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is characterized by the appearance of aphthae on the oral mucosa and a prolonged course with periodic exacerbations of the process from 1 time in 2 years to an almost continuous course of the disease. Desquamative changes in the tongue appear as smooth, shiny spots of bright red color, surrounded by a gray-white rim of filiform papillae. Two clinical cases are presented, reflecting the need for joint work of doctors of different specialties (dentist, gastroenterologist) for the timely diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
