Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have a higher chance of developing periodontitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Periodontitis affects up to one billion people worldwide, and has been proven to be associated with several systemic inflammatory conditions.
