Case Question 6: Which type of mucosal epithelium is expected to be found in a healthy gastric region?

CASE #4: Your new patient presents with a chief complaint of “I want to get established as a patient and I think I may have some gum issues going on”. During the health history and dental history, the patient reports high blood pressure and diabetes that he takes medications for and that he is a current daily cigarette and e-cigarette/vaping user.  He used to have regular dental hygiene appointments, but has not been in a dental office since the COVID pandemic started in 2020.
