Speaker: Sherri M. Lukes, RDH, MS, FAADH

Because the gastrointestinal tract is one continuous system beginning in the mouth, many GI disorders present with oral manifestations. This course takes participants on an engaging journey through the tract — from the esophagus to the intestines — exploring how conditions such as GERD, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and Peutz-Jegher’s syndrome can appear in the oral cavity. Using vivid clinical cases and comparative imagery, Lukes will guide participants in developing comprehensive differential diagnoses and interdisciplinary treatment strategies that enhance patient care and diagnostic accuracy.

Learning objectives:

• Recognize oral manifestations of common gastrointestinal disorders.
• Incorporate systemic health information when forming differential diagnoses.
• Apply interdisciplinary strategies for improved patient outcomes.
