Two million Americans are diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)—Crohn’s & ulcerative colitis—and the number is increasing by seventy thousand new cases annually. At the same time, about 10-20% of the adult population has irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). During this course, participants will define IBD, and IBS, and discuss the differences between these conditions, prognosis, and methods of treatment. The participants will compare oral signs of these conditions and assess risks for oral diseases. The participants will also evaluate the effects of medications, the need for medical consultation, modifications to routine dental care, and oral hygiene instructions for patients with these conditions.
Participants will learn:
- To discuss inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and their symptoms
- To identify oral signs of gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions
- To compare treatment strategies for IBD, and IBS
- To discuss the oral effects of medications used to treat these conditions
- To assess modifications needed for routine dental care and oral hygiene instructions
