title: Oral changes in Crohn's disease.
abstract: Oral lesions in patients with Crohn's disease may be characteristic granulomatous lesions, secondary results of deficiency conditions, or coincidental lesions. Thorough investigations are necessary to rule out involvement of the gut in the disease process. If results fail to substantiate a diagnosis of Crohn's disease, regular follow-up examinations are necessary to detect possible later development of the disorder.
