Abstract :

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is comprised of two chronic, tissue–destructive and clinical entities including Crohn‘s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), both of which are immunologically based. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic tissue destructive inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of autoimmune origin characterized by predominant bowel symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and relapsing and remitting rectal bleeding, leading to loss of weight. Extraintestinal manifestations, including involvement of the oral cavity, may also occur. Oral involvement during IBD includes aphthous ulcers, pyostomatitis vegetans (PV) and lichen planus (LP). Objectives: The purpose of this study was to document the oral manifestations in a cohort of UC patients from north western part of India. Method: The study included 40 patients with UC, and 40 patients with equal age– and sex–matched healthy and without gastrointestinal disease as the control group. All patients had an oral examination and the same patients were also asked a series of questions in the form of questionnaire. Results: PV, minor aphthous ulcer, LP, halitosis, dysgeusia, dry mouth, tongue coating, gingivitis and periodontitis were documented as oral manifestations in UC. Conclusion: The results of the present study show that patients with UC show more numerous and varied intra oral than the patients in the control group. Further researches on oral lesions in UC are also recommended so that these diseases can be better understood
