Helicobacter pylori Seroprevalence and Its Association with Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Self-Perceived Oral Health Among Lithuanian Dental Students
seroprevalence in this student population was relatively low, and no association was found with clinical exposure or gastrointestinal symptom severity. Household-related factors may be more relevant to transmission than occupational exposure in dental training. Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify risk factors and transmission pathways.
