Abstract
Twenty-one patients with Crohn's disease have been studied with respect to caries activity and, when compared to two separate age-matched control groups, have evidenced a significantly greater number of decayed, missing, or filled teeth. Potential contributing factors, such as saliva constituents, oral hygiene, and diet, are discussed and implications for further research are presented.Entities:
