Periodontitis prevalence in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease - PPCC: A case-control study.

Patients with UC and CD have significantly increased odds for worse self-perceived oral health and severe periodontitis compared to controls, with the former being more severely affected and losing more teeth. It is strongly recommended that patients with IBD are kept under close surveillance to prevent periodontitis development and/or mitigate its progression.
