Morphological Changes in the Mucous Membrane of the Oral Cavity in Patients with Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers

Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, 5-10% of the world's population is affected by gastric and duodenal ulcers. Every year, more than three hundred thousand (300,000) peptic ulcer patients undergo emergency surgical procedures. This, in turn, causes complications of patients with stomach ulcers to undergo surgical procedures in the hospital. According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of duodenal ulcer disease is 4 times higher than the incidence of peptic ulcer disease. Duodenal ulcers are more common in men than in women. Changes in the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum, including ulcers, are caused by the harmful effects of hydrochloric acid, which is part of gastric juice and aids in digestion. This, in turn, does not affect the initial parts of the digestive organs, that is, the oral cavity. Because it includes changes in the stomach environment, starting from the violation of the diet.
