Özet

The aim of this study was to monitor the oral health of chidren with chronic renal disease and skeletal development in children with renal disease. Thirty-six children (aged 3-13 years) were given a ffill clinical and radiological dental examination to evaluate skeletal development and tooth changes. After the first diagnosis and careful examination, enamel defects were clinically detected in a total of 11 children (30.5%). Of these, eight children clinically affected (22.2% of all those examined) exhibited localized hypoplasia of the primary canines, which was determined in only 3% of healthy control children. This increased prevalence is probably due to disordered calcium and phosphate metabolism. Chronological ages were recorded and hand-wrist radiographs were taken in our clinic. Accordingto our results, skeletal developments is slower than chronological development and this is statistically significant. Dental and medical cafe should be closely integrated for children with renal disease in order to avoid undesirable dental sequelae.
