Sumario:OBJECTIVES: This study examined the variation in prevalence of periodontitis among different sexes, age groups, smoking status, and oral hygiene adherence in patients affected by either Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). MATERIALS & METHODS: This study was a retrospective chart analysis that collected data from the School of Dentistry's Oral Health Clinic at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. Patients' electronic health records between the years of 2013 and 2019 were analyzed. Multiple keywords such as IBD, CD, UC, and periodontal disease with various spelling combinations were used for searching and gathering pertinent data, which was then further assessed. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 80 patient charts were included. These patient charts were thoroughly screened to gather information such as age, sex, smoking status, and a variety of periodontal parameters. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS software by using Pearson's χ(2), Pearson's correlation, and Mann–Whitney U‐test. RESULTS: IBD had an impact on the severity of periodontitis in patients between the ages of 50 and 64 years with higher odds ratio (OR). Biological sex or history of smoking in IBD patients did not have higher odds of developing periodontitis. Plaque score derived from this retrospective study was used to estimate the patient's oral hygiene status and showed no impact. Also, prevalence of periodontitis did not differ between UC and CD. We anticipated some of these findings because of the retrospective nature of the study. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitation of the retrospective study, IBD patients in the 50–64 age group years showed a higher odds ratio for a greater prevalence of periodontitis. Thus, a closer periodontal recall and evaluation in these patients is recommended for early diagnosis and preventive care. It is advised that periodontists work closely with gastroenterologists to maintain periodontal health in IBD‐affected individuals.
