Association of oral manifestations with severity of the disease in ulcerative colitis patients
The results of this study confirm that as the severity of ulcerative colitis increases, the occurrence of oral lesions also rises, particularly during severe disease activity. Among oral symptoms, dry mouth had the highest incidence, followed by bad breath and changes in taste. The most common oral lesions observed were a coated tongue, grooved tongue, and oral ulcers, respectively.
