Inflammatory bowel disease and periodontitis: A retrospective chart analysis.

Within the limitation of the retrospective study, IBD patients in the 50-64 age group years showed a higher odds ratio for a greater prevalence of periodontitis. Thus, a closer periodontal recall and evaluation in these patients is recommended for early diagnosis and preventive care. It is advised that periodontists work closely with gastroenterologists to maintain periodontal health in IBD-affected individuals.
