Popis: The article presents the results of the dental examination of 75 patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease with mild and medium-to-severe clinical course. Absolutely all of the patients had intensive dental caries and inflammatory diseases of the paradontium that exceeded the average statistical level for Moscow both in terms of incidence and severity. As many as 20-60% of patients suffering from inflammatory intestinal diseases also had such disorders of the mouth cavity mucous membrane as angular cheilitis, labial fissures, glossitis or aphthous stomatitis. The reduction of the alveolar bony tissue was usually found in cases of gingivitis and paradontosis. It was demonstrated that the treatment of this type of pathologies as well as preventive measures can essentially reduce the mouth cavity disease incidence for this group of patients and improve their life quality.
