Abstract. The article provides an overview of the interconnections between the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and the oral cavity, emphasizing the priority of the GIT. Special attention is given to the complex pathophysiological relationships within the structural and functional elements of the digestive system. The authors discuss the relevance of studying combined pathologies, highlighting the role of the oral cavity in processes of damage and compensation in various GIT disorders. Analysis of recent scientific research underscores the significance of the oral cavity in pathological processes at different levels of the organism. Such a review may contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in the development and treatment of GIT disorders and serve as a basis for developing effective diagnostic and preventive strategies.
