Crohn’s Disease (with Oral Manifestations) as a Stigmatising Disease and the Dismissal of Workers: A Brief Comparison Between Brazil and the UK

The purpose of this article is to alert dental surgeons to the initial signs and symptoms of Crohn’s Disease, which can manifest in the oral cavity or stomatognathic system. In addition, we make a brief comparison of Brazilian and British legislation, in particular the defence of workers with Crohn Disease. The intersection between dentistry and law can contribute to better care for patients with Crohn’s disease, as well as helping in a subsidiary way to labour law in cases of discriminatory dismissal.
