“…However, dental calculus formation is actually quite variable and complicated. Various systemic factors, including disease, affect the amount of deposition as well as the velocity of deposition of dental calculus (Beiswanger et al, 1989, Lieverse, 1999, Poff et al, 1997, Epstein et al, 1980, Mandel, 1995, Scheie, 1994, Shasha et al, 1983, Eigner et al, 1986and Fujimaki et al, 1998. Levels and location of calculi are population-specific and are influenced by ora1l hygiene habits, diet, age, ethnicity, and use of teeth as tools (White, 1997).…”

“…Enamel defects were assessed in the permanent dentition, using the criteria developed for the Developmental Defects of Enamel Index, considering diffuse opacities, demarcated opacities or enamel hypoplasia [2]. Carious lesions were assessed clinically, by visual examination and by probe inspection [10].…”

“…In these patients, the prevalence of oral lesions is twice that of control patients, and oral health surveillance has become an increasing part of the follow-up. Untreated dental infection or oral mucosa lesions are potential severe complications, which, at most, can jeopardize the maintenance of renal function [2].…”

To outline the specific oral surveillance needs of renal transplant children, we report the 4-year follow-up data of 106 children examined routinely on a 6-month basis and upon request from the medical team or the parents in the interval. Data were recorded for hard and soft dental tissues, including enamel defects carious lesions, gingival status, orthodontic treatment needs, and wisdom teeth eruption. Hard-tissue lesions were noted in 34.9% of the children, caries lesions on the permanent teeth were seen in 15.0% of cases, 18.86% of the patients had orthodontic treatment. Spontaneous examination, upon request for medical reasons, was given for 26 children. Twenty-one demands originated from the parents. Over a 4-year period the attendance of a dental specialist resulted in a significant improvement in the oral health of the renal transplant children.

An increasing number of Indians are living with renal disease. This disease has many implications for, in terms of oral manifestations and management of afflicted patients. Renal failure can give rise to a large spectrum of oral manifestations, affecting the hard or soft tissues of the mouth. The dental care of these patients can be complex, given the medications associated with the disease and the medical conditions that result from inadequately functioning kidneys. Thus, the role of dentist is pivotal in overall health care of patients with renal disease. The authors present relevant information to help dentists in treating patients who exhibit the oral and systemic manifestations of renal disease. The present article reviews, in detail, the current knowledge of the oral and dental aspects of renal failure.
