Abstract

Purpose: End-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its treatment by hemodialysis represent a public health issue especially in Morocco. This study aimed to assess the impact of chronic renal failure on oral health in patients undergoing renal dialysis.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients undergoing dialysis. The variables recorded were DMFT (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) index and pH salivary. The correlation between oral health and the duration of dialysis was assessed.

Results: A total of 46 adult hemodialysis was evaluated, among them 52.2% were males, the mean age was 58.72 ± 12.4 years. All the patients in the sample underwent three dialysis sessions per week. Half of the patients brushed their teeth once a day. The average DMFT index was 15.41 ± 6.04. Xerostomia was noted in 84.8% of the sample. This health situation analysis showed that dental care of the dialysis patients was not favorable, highlighting a great need for dental treatment.

Conclusion: CKD cases should be made aware of the oral problems and their potential effect on overall health. A multidisciplinary approach with the involvement of different specialties is recommended.

摩洛哥血液透析患者的口腔健康状况

目的：终末期慢性肾病（CKD）及其血液透析治疗是一个公共卫生问题，特别是在摩洛哥。本研究旨在评估慢性肾功能衰竭对肾透析患者口腔健康的影响。材料与方法：对透析患者进行横断面研究。记录的变量是DMFT（蛀牙、缺牙和补牙）指数和唾液pH值。评估口腔健康与透析持续时间之间的相关性。结果：共评估成人血液透析患者46例，其中男性占52.2%，平均年龄58.72±12.4岁。样本中的所有患者每周进行三次透析。一半的病人每天刷一次牙。平均DMFT指数为15.41±6.04。84.8%的患者出现口干。该健康状况分析表明，透析患者的牙科保健状况不佳，突出了牙科治疗的巨大需求。结论：CKD患者应意识到口腔问题及其对整体健康的潜在影响。建议采用涉及不同专业的多学科方法。
