ΙBD & ΣΤΟΜΑΤΚΗ ΚΟΙΛΟΤΗΤΑ A significant proportion of patients may have one or more manifestations in the oral cavity and in the perioral skin area. The prevalence of oral lesions in IBD has been reported to range from 5-50%. oral lesions are more common in CD as compared to UC more prevalent in children as compared to adults.
ΙBD & ΣΤΟΜΑΤΚΗ ΚΟΙΛΟΤΗΤΑ Oral manifestations may be associated with the disease itself with nutritional deficiencies with complications from therapy. may precede IBD diagnosis may or not be associated with active disease may involve any part of the oral cavity They may cause significant symptoms and disability
ΙBD & ΣΤΟΜΑΤΚΗ ΚΟΙΛΟΤΗΤΑ two common clinical scenarios: 1) oral lesions associated with altered bowel habits 2) established IBD but complaining of new oral lesions.
Oral lesions in CD Oral lesions have a prevalence rate between 20-50%. higher in proximal gastrointestinal tract and/or perianal involvement. Aphthous ulcers, the most common preceding GI symptoms in 5%-10% of patients.
Oral lesions in children with CD The highest reported rate almost 50% 30% may continue to manifest oral lesions despite intestinal disease control. Paediatric doctors and dentists play a critical role
Oral manifestations in UC Aphthous ulcers in 10% of UC. in pediatric patients with UC in up one third and are usually non-specific.
DIAGNOSIS OF ORAL LESIONS IN IBD Oral lesions in IBD can be specific non-specific

Table Differential diagnosis of oral aphthous and oral granulomatous lesions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Oral aphthous or ulcerous or edematous lesions Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) Autoimmune rheumatic diseases (Reiter's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, Adamandiadis-Behcet's syndrome) Autoimmune bullous diseases, cicatricial pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita Infections (mucobacterial, systemic fungal infections, parasites, sexually transmitted infections, herpetic gingivostomatitis, CMV, Coxsackie, oral histoplasmosis) Oral staphylococcal (S. aureus) mucositis Lymphatic edema, lymphangioma, vascular edema, Neutropenias Desquamative gingivitis Precancerous lesions (lichen planus) Cancer (mouth T-cell lymphoma) Oral granulomatous lesions Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome Cheilitis granulomatosa (Miescher cheilitis) Foreign body reaction-sarcoid-like (Polishing-paste-induced silica granuloma, delayed hypersensitivity to cobalt, oral cavity piercing) Sarcoidosis Sjögren syndrome Wegener s granulomatosis Tuberculosis Tuberculoid leprosy Traumas and Allergies
Spectrum of oral manifestations and lesions in inflammatory bowel disease Crohn s disease Ulcerative colitis Highly specific - Metastatic -Orofacial -Granulomatous cheilitis Highly suspicious -Tag-like lesions -Cobblestoning -Mucogingivitis -Lip swelling & vertical fissuring -Deep linear oral ulcers (buccal sulci) Non-specific oral lesions In IBD and non-ibd patients -Malabsorption related -Medication related -Other Highly specific -pyostomatitis vegetans
a. Highly specific oral lesions Highly specific oral lesions are almost pathognomonic for IBD diagnosis orofacial and granulomatous cheilitis in CD pyostomatitis vegetans in UC and CD
Orofacial Crohn s disease oral ulcers and cobblestoning appearance in the mouth of patients with CD CD of the mouth. Orofacial CD is a specific manifestation of CD (5-15% ) relapsing aphthous ulceration with coexisting edema of the oral cavity and of the lips Usually the bowel disease develops within a few months of the orofacial condition, but delays of up to nine years have also been reported.
Orofacial Crohn s disease Orofacial CD is clinically and histologically indistinguishable from orofacial granulomatosis (OFG), which occurs in the absence of any bowel disease. OFG encompasses two conditions: Granulomatous cheilitis (or Miescher cheilitis or cheilitis granulomatosa) Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome
Orofacial granulomatosis Granulomatous cheilitis Melkerson-Rosenthal syndrome Other causes (i.e sarcoidosis, allergy) Orofacial Crohn s (preceeding bowel symptoms) Orofacial Crohn s (extraintestinal manifestation) Absence of bowel disease Bowel disease
Granulomatous cheilitis Granulomatous cheilitis (or cheilitis granulomatosa or Miescher cheilitis) Changes are restricted to the lip, mostly focal granulomatous inflammation of the lower lip.
Pyostomatitis vegetans Pyostomatitis vegetans (PV) is a rare condition characterized by erythematous and thickened oral mucosa with multiple pustules and superficial erosions. PV is associated with IBD in 75% of cases Other differential diagnoses include autoimmune pemphigoid diseases and sometimes infections.
b. Highly suspicious oral lesions for IBD are highly suggestive of underlying IBD, especially CD The most common affected portions are the buccal mucosa, gingiva, lips
c. Non-specific lesions in IBD
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis Any patient with recurring or insisting oral ulcers should be evaluated medically for the possible presence of a more serious systemic disease. Aphthous-like lesions may be seen in 4-5% of patients with IBD. Colonic, rather than small intestinal, CD is more often associated with oral The list of differential diagnosis is long
Salivary duct and saliva in IBD Patients with IBD may complain of dry mouth, similar to the sicca syndrome observed in transplanted patients under immunosuppressive therapy. Granulomatous inflammation of minor salivary gland ducts has been suggested as another oral manifestation of active intestinal CD.
Tongue involvement in IBD Rare cases of non-neoplastic tongue involvement in IBD have been described Alterations of taste (metallic dysgeusia) may be related with disease activity, nutritional habits therapy with metronidazole.
Dental and gingival manifestations in IBD dental infections and dental alterations related to malabsorption and to disease activity of IBD. Gingival involvement in CD is infrequent. Gingival biopsy may be helpful for early diagnosis of an underlying CD.
Oral lesions secondary to nutritional deficiencies Nutritional deficiencies may cause oral lesions, the most common being angular cheilitis associated with iron deficiency. deficiencies in iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc and selenium.
Therapy-related oral lesions All medications may cause oral lesions or symptoms Oral paradoxical reactions to biologicals include oral lichenoid reaction to infliximab and new onset of oral lichen planus during certolizumab pegol use.
MEDICAL TREATMENT OF ORAL MANIFESTATIONS IN IBD topical and/or systemic therapies combined with dietary instructions In refractory or intractable cases the algorithms of management may also include surgical treatment

SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ORAL MANIFESTATIONS IN IBD for severe complications refractory to medical therapy. Minimal or elective surgery Local dental surgery Major surgical interventions include oral and oropharyngeal surgery, (orthognathic and/or maxillofacial surgery) plastic surgery (reconstructive, elimination i.e for hyperplastic gingiva). Colectomy is reserved as an ultimate option for patients with UC and intractable or highly resistant oral lesions that significantly affect oral feeding and overall quality of life.
