Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.

Review question

ElementPlanned (methods)Found (results)
PopulationPatients with IBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), aged 0-99 years, both sexes; excluding patients with another bowel or autoimmune disease1748 participants across 15 studies in 11 countries (1104 Crohn's disease, 534 ulcerative colitis, 110 IBD-form unspecified); one pediatric study
InterventionNot applicable per protocol (observational; exposure = IBD diagnosis)IBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) as diagnosed
ComparisonNot applicable per protocol (healthy controls where a control group existed)Healthy controls (11/15 studies had a control group; 4 studies had no control group)
OutcomesClinical indices evaluating oral hygiene, and dental and periodontal status; studies determining only presence of oral lesions excludedPeriodontal disease meta-analyzed (OR: IBD 2.49 [1.97-3.15], 6 studies; CD 2.10 [1.59-2.78], 5 studies; UC 3.25 [2.23-4.74], 5 studies; all p<0.0001). Dental caries (DMF-t/DMF-s) and oral hygiene/plaque and gingival indices reported narratively (Table 3), not pooled due to heterogeneity.
Study designsCase-control, cohort and cross-sectional studies; published after 2000, in English15 observational studies (case-control, cohort, cross-sectional); 6 pooled in meta-analysis

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) vs Healthy controls without IBD

Population: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and controls without IBD; mostly adults (one pediatric study), both sexes

Periodontal disease (periodontitis) coincidence
Patients with IBD have about 2.5-fold higher odds of coexisting periodontal disease than healthy controls (pooled OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.97-3.15; 6 studies; not GRADE-rated).

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) vs Healthy controls without IBD

Population: Patients with IBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) and controls without IBD
1 question
OutcomeEffectEvidenceStatus / GRADE
Dental caries (DMF-t/DMF-s and related caries indices)
Most included studies reported higher dental caries indices (DMF-t/DMF-s) in IBD patients (especially ulcerative colitis), but findings were inconsistent across studies and were not meta-analyzed or GRADE-rated.
Source: Table 3; Abstract; Discussion; Conclusions · same question in other reviews
Not meta-analyzed (heterogeneity of caries indices). Abstract: "in most studies, patients with IBD were characterized by higher values of caries indices." Table 3 examples (IBD/subtype vs control): Zhang 2020 DMF-t…NRUngraded
