  • Title: [Oral manifestations in Crohn's disease and dental management].
    Author: Orosz M, Sonkodi I.
    Journal: Fogorv Sz; 2004 Jun; 97(3):113-7. PubMed ID: 15282976.
    Abstract:
    Crohn's disease is a systemic chronic inflammatory disorder, which may involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the oral cavity. Bowel symptoms are the predominant manifestations, however during the course of the disease a lot of extra-intestinal complications may occur. The prevalence rates of oral manifestations varied between 5 to 20 per cent, but in pediatric patients the prevalence is much higher: 48 to 80 per cent. The review gives an overview of the oral findings observed in patients with Crohn's disease, and the potential implications of the disease for dental management are discussed.
