Objective:
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated chronic enteropathy that causes chronic inflammation and has been found to cause oral health problems. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of the inflammatory markers calcium (Ca), caspase-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva of patients with and without celiac disease.
Methods:
A total of 60 participants were divided into two groups: patients with celiac disease on a gluten diet (C) (n = 30) and systemically healthy controls (H) (n = 30). Full-mouth periodontal measurements, including the gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), and probing depth (PD), were recorded for all participants. Saliva and GCF samples were collected for analysis of the levels of TNF-α, Ca, and caspase-1 via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results:
Salivary and GCF Ca, caspase-1, and TNF-α levels were not different between the two groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusions:
Oral inflammatory profiles of celiac disease patients on a gluten-free diet show similarities with systemically healthy individuals.

Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
