Dental examination of 50 children with chronic renal failure revealed enamel hypoplasia in 26 (52%), retardation of dental age in 18 (36%) and delay of dental eruption in 16 (32%) cases. In comparison to normal children the prevalence of caries was significantly lower. Half of the children showed radiologic changes in the jaw-bones already during preterminal stage of renal insufficiency. The possible role of the dentist concerning early diagnosis of renal failure is discussed.
对50名慢性肾功能衰竭儿童进行的牙科检查发现，26名（52%）有釉质发育不全，18名（36%）有牙龄迟缓，16名（32%）有出牙延迟。与正常儿童相比，龋齿的患病率显著更低。一半的儿童在肾功能不全终末期之前颌骨就已出现放射学改变。文中讨论了牙医在肾衰竭早期诊断方面可能发挥的作用。
