Periodontal Status in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

Abstract

Objectives: To compare periodontal status of chronic kidney disease patients with those in non-chronic kidney disease patients and to explore the relationship between periodontitis and chronic kidney disease in a group of Vietnamese. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 240 adults including 120 chronic kidney disease patients (group 1) and 120non-chronic kidney disease patients (group 2). The socio-demographic characteristic, dental and smoking habits were investigated by the questionnaire. Periodontal status (PPD, CAL, BOP) were examined. The periodontal status was compared between 2 groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between chronic kidney disease and periodontitis after adjusting related factors. Results : The clinically periodontal parameters in group 1 were all higher compared to those in group 2 (p<0.001). The OR for periodontitis in patients who with age more than 60 years or brushed their teeth less than 2 times per day or had no scaling or in current smokers or with chronic kidney disease were 1.93; 4.27; 7.95; 4.21; 2.94 compared to counterparts, respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: The periodontal status of chronic kidney disease patients was found worse than those in non-chronic kidney disease patients. The chronic kidney disease was significantly related to periodontitis.
