Abstract
Crohn's disease (C.D) is a chronic transmural inflammation of unknown etiology that can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the oral cavity to the anus, although its most frequent location is the ileum. The dental treatment of patients with C.D requires multidisciplinary collaboration, because oral manifestations of the disease may appear even before the intestinal signs. Special mention should be made of the biological therapies of last generation as well as the corticotherapy used and their repercussions against healing and infections of the oral territory. The purpose of our article is to review the oral manifestations presented by patients diagnosed with C.D, as well as to establish protocols of action in dental practice, through adequate knowledge of the various treatments that these patients need.
