Dental Surgical Approach in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure: Considerations and Specific Approach

Abstract

Currently in Ecuador, knowledge about the various care options for patients with systemic diseases, such as chronic renal failure, is limited. It is important to highlight that health professionals, particularly dentists, face the challenge of acquiring the necessary knowledge to carry out a multidisciplinary approach between medicine and dentistry. In this research, our objective was to exhaustively analyze the scientific bases and previously published studies that address dental surgical treatments in patients with chronic renal failure. To carry out this article, we carried out a thorough preliminary search in the relevant databases, identifying a total of 37 scientific articles, of which 34 met the established inclusion criteria. The focus of our research was descriptive and applied, allowing us to deepen the knowledge available in the area and establish relevant conclusions. Our research has revealed that patients with chronic renal failure require special consideration before undergoing dental treatment. Within the context of dentistry, the approach to patients with chronic renal failure must be carefully planned, considering the systemic health of the patient and avoiding possible drug interactions.
