A recent study has revealed that Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD) patients have significantly increased odds of severe periodontitis than their controls without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The study was published in the 'Journal of Clinical periodontology.'
Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and periodontitis are some of the important diseases of the digestive tract. Alteration of the microbiota and the immune conditions may lead to the development of these diseases. As previous studies suggested the association of periodontitis in UC, CD, and IBD, Kristina Bertl et al conducted a study to assess the prevalence of periodontitis in UC and CD patients with matched controls without IBD.
