Health-related quality of life aspects of the 'Periodontitis prevalence in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease' (PPCC) cohort

CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study indicate, for the first time, that oral health problems are associated with an impairment of IBD-specific health-related QoL, and vice versa, IBD is associated with an impaired oral health-related QoL. This emphasizes the potential advantages of including dental professionals in the multi-disciplinary treatment teams of IBD patients.PMID:37670508 | DOI:10.1111/jcpe.13863
