Abstract

This study analyzed the role of Helicobacter pylori in the development of lesions of the oral mucosa and explored the relationship between the prevalence and intensity of periodontal disease and the stage, duration, and severity of gastrointestinal diseases associated with H. pylori infection. The newly identified factors of H. pylori pathogenicity that participate in the development of lesions of the oral mucosa in case of a body infection were also determined.
