Abstract

Objective: Identify the oral clinical manifestations of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in elderly adults’ patients. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with a universe of 50 older adults previously diagnosed by gastroenterologist specialists, prescribing the presence of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, confirmed by clinical, histopathological and endoscopic findings, referred to the stomatological consultation of the Specialities Policlinic of the "Saturnino Lora Torres" University Clinical Surgical Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, from March 2019 to the same month of 2020, performing intraoral examination, description of oral lesions and their clinical diagnosis. For the collection of the primary data, a model was made with the variables: age, sex, inflammatory bowel disease, anatomical location, oral clinical signs and symptoms in both pathologies. A database was created in SPSS version 22.0 in Windows for the processing and analysis of the information, using the descriptive statistical technique and grouping the data in absolute and relative frequencies. Results: In the casuistry, females and the age group of 60 to 74 years prevailed, vegetative pyostomatitis was the most common specific oral sign and recurrent aphthous ulcer was the most prevalent non-specific lesion in both pathologies, pain being the most affecting clinical symptom and the back of the tongue is the most preferred site for its installation. Conclusions: The most relevant oral clinical expressions in elderly patients adults with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis were pyostomatitis vegetative and recurrent aphthous ulcer.
