Abstract

The work presents the results of assessing the spread of pathology of hard tissues of teeth and periodontal in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Objective. Assessment of the intensity and spread of pathology of dental hard tissues and inflammatory periodontal diseases in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC). Materials and methods. A comprehensive clinical and dental examination of 70 patients with CD and CUC was carried out. The complex of dental examination included the analysis of complaints, anamnesis, assessment of the condition of hard tissues of teeth, periodontal tissues. Assessment of the intensity level of nociceptive pain was carried out using a visual analog scale (VAS). Results and discussion. As a result of the clinical examination, a high prevalence of caries (K02) was revealed in CD and CUC, respectively, in 97.2% and 91.4% of cases, high and very high intensity of the carious process according to the CP index ≥ 10. With CD, the symptom of hyperesthesia, increased erasure of mixed teeth and wedge-shaped defects were most often observed in 100, 77.14 and 60.0% of cases, in 68.57% chronic periodontitis prevails (K05.3), with CD, the symptom of hyperesthesia (K03.80) and increased tooth erasure (K03.0) were 1.2 times less common) (p < 0.05), chronic gingivitis prevails in 62.85% (K05.10). The level of intensity of the pain symptom for patients with CD and CUC corresponds to the VAS scale from moderate to significant (p < 0.001). Results. As a result of a comprehensive dental examination of patients with CD and CUC, a high prevalence and intensity of caries and non-carious dental hard tissue lesions, inflammatory periodontal diseases, the level of dental care in persons with CD and CUC is insufficient. Conclusion. The connection of dental status with clinical manifestations of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases is beyond doubt. The ambiguity of the etiology and pathogenesis of CD and CUC as well as the significant similarity of their clinical manifestations, dictate the need for an integrated approach to the development of methods for diagnosing pathology of hard tissues of teeth and periodontal and assessing their clinical features.
