Abstract EN
The objective of our study is to assess the subjective and objective oral manifestations and salivary pH in diabetic and nondiabetic uremic patients at a nephrology clinic.
A total of 194 diabetic and nondiabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), who were divided into four groups, Group A, B, C, D, and who were attending a nephrology clinic were included in the study.
Predialytic unstimulated whole salivary pH was recorded using pHmeasuring strips.
Subjective and objective findings were evaluated and recorded in the specially designed pro forma.
Dental health assessment consisted of decayed, missing, and filled teeth index and community periodontal index (CPI).
Dysgeusia was found to be significantly more prevalent in nondiabetic patients on dialysis.
Uremic odor showed high significance (P <0.05) with 75 % patients being positive in diabetic dialysis.
There was no significant difference in the incidence of tongue coating between the four groups.
A statistically high significance was observed with the objective oral manifestation of mucosal petechiae, with P = 0.01.
There was an increased periodontal pocket depth among diabetic CKD patients as compared to that in nondiabetic patients.
A moderate significance was found, with a CPI score showing P <0.05.
Increased prevalence of caries was noticed among the diabetic CKD patients (Groups A, B).
Recorded salivary pH showed no significant difference among diabetic and nondiabetic CKD patients.
Findings suggest that these patients are at risk of developing complications, related to systemic health causing morbidity and mortality.
Hence, these patients are to be motivated for comprehensive professional oral care and self oral hygiene instructions.
Additional research is necessary to elucidate and correlate the combined influence of diabetes, CKD, and dialysis on oral health.
