Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including patients’ diet, way of treatment and general health may have an impact on teeth condition. Due to multifactorial nature of caries that its linked to susceptibility of hard tooth tissues, cariogenic microorganisms and presence of fermentable carbohydrates, the course of disease can be modified at many levels. The aim of the study was to assess dental caries experience in adult patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods The study involved 224 individuals: 98 with diagnosed CD, 75 with UC and 51 of control group (CG) with mean age 34.7. The complete assessment of the hard tooth tissues based on the DMFT index (decayed D, missing M, filled F teeth) was performed. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the examined groups in terms of DMFT index values, however, a statistically significant difference was found in the number of teeth with caries (D) (mean 3.99, 3.05 and 1.96 for CD, UC and CG respectively; H=13.55 p &amp;lt; 0.05). All groups had higher mean D values in men than women, and achieved the highest mean value in CD group (4.78) compared with UC (3.68) and healthy controls (2.06)(H=8.71 p &amp;lt; 0.05). The results of D values for CG obtained in our study confirm the literature data for healthy population aged 35–44 in Poland (mean D~2). The number of lost teeth (M) in the studied population was high and amounted to 5.47, 5.25 and 3.94 for the examined groups, respectively. A thorough analysis showed that in the group of men the difference in the M value was statistically significant at 5.83, 5.94 and 1.11 for CD, UC and CG respectively (H=15.84 p &amp;lt; 0.05). Statistically significant differences (H=6.21 p &amp;lt; 0.05) were observed in the number of filled teeth (F), without secondary caries, which highest value was recorded in CG (10.76) and the lowest in the CD group (8.93). Conclusion The highest D and M values were observed in patients with CD, especially in men, which proves the intensity and activity of dental caries disease in this group.
