Scientific Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) include two major subtypes: Crohns disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) with immunological dysfunction underlying its development. Changes in the oral mucosa and changes in the periodontium can also be observed. Periodontitis (P) is defined as a dysbiotic inflammatory disease, however, the relationship between the incidence and severity of periodontitis and cytokine expression in IBD patients remains unclear.
