Brief summary

In adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a higher prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease has been reported compared with healthy control subjects, but similar data on children are missing in the literature.We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dental erosion, dental caries and periodontal disease in children with IBD.

Detailed description

In this age- and gender-matched prospective case-control study, detailed questionnaires including nutritional habits and oral examinations were completed for 32 IBD patients aged 11 to 18 (15,53±2,00 yr) and 32 healthy controls based on the established criteria of the World Health Organization by the same pediatric dentist.

Interventions

OTHERNo intervention was given to the patients

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dental cariesIn one yearIn the present study WHO criteria were used to detect DMFT (decayed, missing and filled permanent teeth) scores
Dental erosionIn one yearDental erosion status was determined with the basic erosive wear examination (BEWE) index
Periodontal diseaseIn one yearThe patients' and controls' gingival condition was also scored according to the criteria of a Gingival Index (GI) System. The oral hygiene status was determined with the PCR index in order to assess the presence or absence of marginal plaque. The prevalence and the severity of periodontal disease were recorded with the CPITN after dividing the oral cavity into sextants.
Oral extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs)In one yearincluding the lip mucosa, buccal mucosa, gingiva; the palatal mucosa and oropharynx; the tongue dorsum, tongue ventrum, and floor of the mouth
