Objective :  Gastroesophageal reflux disease and laryngopharyngeal reflux are common public health problems, which are known to effect oral cavity. Subjective assessment of symptom severity in patients with gastroesophageal reflux and laryngopharyngeal reflux can be made with self-reported “Reflux Symptom Index”. In this study, possible relation of dental and periodontal conditions with Reflux Symptom Index scores was evaluated. Material and Methods :  This study was performed with 135 dental outpatients (52 female and 83 male; aged between 18-63 years). Demographic and clinical variables were procured and Reflux Symptom Index (a nine item and 45-point scale questionnaire) scores were evaluated. Dental and periodontal conditions were assessed with DMFT (decayed, missing, filled teeth) index and Community Periodontal Index scores. Patients were divided into two subgroups according to their RSI values (Reflux Symptom Index ≤13; normal and Reflux Symptom Index >13; abnormal) and differences were statistically investigated. Results :  Reflux Symptom Index subgroups showed significant difference in all intraoral parameters except decayed teeth number (p 0.05).   Conclusion :  Self-reported Reflux Symptom Index merits further investigation before declaring dental and periodontal conclusions in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and laryngopharyngeal reflux.
