“…CD and UC are commonly associated with abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss and signs of malnutrition [ 12 ]. Approximately one third of IBD patients develop extraintestinal manifestations in the course of their disease [ 13 ]. The most common extraintestinal manifestations involve the joints, skin, eyes and biliary tract [ 14 ].…”

Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is an uncommon disease characterized by persistent or recurrent soft tissue enlargement, oral ulceration and a variety of other orofacial features. It could be an oral manifestation of a systemic disease. For a correct differential diagnosis, local and systemic conditions characterized by granulomatous inflammation should be excluded using appropriate clinical and laboratory investigations. In fact, the diagnosis of OFG may be confirmed only by histopathological identification of noncaseating granulomas. The literature from 1943 to 2014 was reviewed with emphasis on the etiology of OFG and on clinical manifestations of systemic pathologies associated with OFG. The precise cause of OFG is still unknown, although several theories have been suggested, such as infection, hereditary factors and allergy. OFG is a disease that has a wide spectrum of presentation, which may include the oral manifestation of a systemic condition such as Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome.

“…Maintaining a perfect oral hygiene appeared essential also because our patient requested an orthodontic treatment. In the literature, there is only one paper regarding orthodontic treatment in CD patients, 13 where the authors affirm that presence of condylar arthritis or lesions involving the periodontium represents a contraindication for orthodontic treatment and ultimately decided not to treat their patient. Our patient, however, shows no signs of arthritis or periodontal disease, is asymptomatic and keeps an optimal oral hygiene, so, in our opinion, the orthodontic treatment is not contraindicated.…”

Gingival manifestation of Crohn’s disease in a paediatric patient: A case report

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Crohn's disease (CD) is a complex multisystemic inflammatory disorder and part of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). About 20% of the subjects affected by IBDs are paediatric patients and 21% of them present extraintestinal manifestations. Among the extraintestinal manifestations of CD, oral manifestations are rather frequent (20–50% of affected people) and can be difficult to identify, being frequently aspecific and not pathognomonic. Their early diagnosis by the dentist is extremely important, because extraintestinal manifestations can precede intestinal symptoms, in all patients but especially in children. The aim of this paper is to report the case of a CD adolescent patient that presented a gingival manifestation.
