The state of oral health in patients with chronic renal failure – partially study stage

Aim. Obtaining stage results, pre-test questionnaire oral health’s assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) – chronic renal failure (CRF), with or without nephritic syndrome, with or without initiated dialysis treatment. Material and method: the study was conducted by applying the questionnaire (pre-test) on a group of 30 patients – 15 patients in the target and 15 patients in the control group. Recorded data have been used for statistical analysis. Group distribution – gender: equal, 50% each group; age: average (years): 60.6 years old on target group and 62.6 years old on control group. IRC average time period (years) has been: 8.55 years on target group (women – 8.12 years and man – 9.04 years). On both groups the number of non-smoking patient has been higher then smoking patients. 9 patients on target group (5 women and 4 men) were framed on nephritic syndrome (average period of 16.5 years). Dialysis patients: 7 (4 women and 3 men), with an average period of 3 years. 67% of patients (target group) were in the range of 15-60 ml/min glomerular filtration rate. On the control group 30% of patients were between the values of 90-120 ml/min (or higher) and 50% in the range of 60-90 ml/min. Results and conclusions. In terms of oral health status of patients with CKD it was found that 50% of them are partially edentulous on more than a half-dental arcade, and 60% have no dentures.
