The main purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the oral and dental status of chronic renal failure (CRF) patients undergoing hemodialysis at children's Hospitals in Tehran. Fifty-three children with CRF aged 5-18 years recruited from the renal unit of children's medical center, Tehran Hospitals for children, were studied. The decayed, missing, filled dmf, DMF and MGI scores were recorded. The CRF children had low prevalence of dental caries, although none of the clinical diagnoses displayed the absence of gingival inflammation. Duration of dialysis and Anemia had a significant influence on the gingival condition. Especially anemia leads to severe gingivitis. The CRF children need careful monitoring and all such patient should be given oral hygiene education as topmost priority.
本调查的主要目的是评估德黑兰儿童医院接受血液透析的慢性肾衰竭(CRF)患儿的口腔和牙齿状况。研究对象为从德黑兰儿童医院儿童医学中心肾脏科招募的53名5至18岁的CRF患儿。记录了龋失补牙面数(dmf)、恒牙龋失补牙数(DMF)和牙龈指数(MGI)得分。CRF患儿龋齿患病率较低,尽管所有临床诊断均显示存在牙龈炎症。透析时间和贫血对牙龈状况有显著影响。尤其是贫血会导致严重的牙龈炎。CRF患儿需要仔细监测,所有此类患者都应被给予口腔卫生教育作为首要任务。
