Abstract
Dyspepsia is a condition resulting from problems related to poor digestion and changes in the sensitivity of the stomach mucosa. It is usually related to diseases such as gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer and neoplasms of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Dyspepsia is strongly related to the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria. Dyspepsia is characterised by pain, pyrosis (heartburn or a burning sensation), anorexia (loss of appetite), abdominal distention, gastric bloating, eructation, flatulence, nausea and a feeling of satiety. Fantogeusia (bitter taste) and halitosis can also be observed. The purpose of this article is to present the case of a patient with dyspepsia caused by erosive gastritis. After periodontal treatment and control of the periodontal disease, an improvement in the symptoms of dyspepsia was reported.
