RESUMO
La cavidad oral constituye la puerta de entrada al complejo sistema digestivo, por lo que el conocimiento de los mecanismos que los vinculan es de vital importancia. En los últimos años la patología dental y oral ha sido analizada como potencial factor de riesgo de enfermedades vinculadas al estilo de vida y, por tanto, se está considerando como una posible interesante vía de prevención. Realizamos una revisión narrativa con búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva en las bases de datos MEDLINE y SCOPUS, incluyendo artículos internacionales que relacionan la salud oral con neoplasias del tracto digestivo, publicados entre 2015 y 2020. El objetivo de esta revisión es analizar la evidencia existente sobre la potencial asociación entre salud bucodental y procesos carcinogénicos del tracto gastrointestinal, proporcionando una posible futura vía de prevención a nivel odontológico. Como objetivo secundario, se fomenta concienciar sobre la importancia de la salud oral como nuevo paradigma y variable de estudio en el ámbito de la investigación médico-sanitaria. (AU)

Recently, oral and dental pathologies have been studied as potential risk factors for pathologies linked to lifestyle habits. Therefore, it could be considered as an interesting preventive way. We conducted a narrative review with a thorough bibliographic search on MEDLINE and SCOPUS, including international studies related to oral healthcare and gastrointestinal neoplasms, published between 2015 and 2020. The primary aim of this revision is to analyze the association between oral healthcare and carcinogenic gastrointestinal processes, providing a possible future preventive strategy for dental care. Moreover, we intend to raise awareness about the importance of oral healthcare as a new paradigm and study variable in the global health care system. (AU)
