The Role of Helicobacter Infection in the Development of Functional Dyspepsia and Inflammatory Periodontal Diseases

Abstract

This article analyzes the provisions of the Maastricht Consensus-5 on the study of H. pylori infection. It is shown how the ideas about the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection have changed in the previous Maastricht consensuses. The issues of the relationship of this infection with the pathology of the gastro duodenal zone, including functional dyspepsia and inflammatory diseases of the oral mucosa and periodontium, are considered separately. Modern approaches to the diagnosis of helicobacteriosis are shown with the determination of the choice of the most optimal diagnostic method in various situations. The importance of H. pylori eradication in terms of preventing functional dyspepsia, inflammatory diseases of the oral mucosa and periodontium has been confirmed.
