Dental Management of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: An Interdisciplinary Literature Review

Abstract

The paper addresses chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition that leads to the gradual loss of renal function and the accumulation of metabolic waste products in the body. The research focuses on analyzing scientific evidence and examining the dental management of patients with CKD, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary care. Common oral alterations in these patients were found, such as xerostomia and periodontal problems. Infection prevention and careful surgical approach are also highlighted aspects to ensure favorable treatment outcomes. The research underscores the significance of early evaluation, a multidisciplinary approach, and proper oral health management in CKD patients to enhance their quality of life and reduce complications.
