  • The majority of patients with specific lesions were male and older, and these lesions were linked to more severe CD, with some patients improving through biological or immunomodulatory therapies.

Pediatric patients possess unique oral conditions where dental plaque rapidly forms, especially during tooth replacement due to tooth crowding.
