Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant medical and social problem associated with commonly observed with increased death rates due to terminal renal failure and cardiovascular complications. In pediatric patients, CKD is accompanied by metabolic, immunological, and mineral disorders that adversely affect the condition of the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to identify the main risk factors contributing to the development of oral cavity lesions in children with chronic kidney disease. The study analyzed clinical, laboratory, and dental indicators in children with various stages of CKD. The results demonstrated a high prevalence of gingivitis, periodontitis, enamel hypoplasia, xerostomia, and dental caries. The leading risk factors included uremic intoxication, calcium-phosphorus metabolism disorders, decreased immunity, poor oral hygiene, long –term drug therapy and dietary restrictions. Timely identification of risk factors and comprehensive dental approach are essential for preventing complications and improving the quality of life of pediatric patients with CKD.
