FEATURES OF THE CLINICAL COURSE AND FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES AND ORAL MUCOSA IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Abstract
The features of the clinical course and frequency of occurrence of periodontal diseases and oral mucosa in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease have been studied. 78 middle-aged men (aged 45 to 59 years) who had been suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) for three years or more were examined. Among the examined patients suffering from CKD, 42 had chronic pyelonephritis, 36 had chronic glomerulonephritis. It was revealed that individuals suffering from chronic pyelonephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis have differences in the condition of periodontal tissues, compared with practically healthy individuals of the same age group. Such patients equally often suffer from inflammatory and dystrophic diseases of periodontal tissues, as well as diseases of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, lips.
