    Background: Periodontal disease has been highlighted as an important potential risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and pulmonary diseases. Studies have reported that patients suffering from end-stage renal failure (ESRF) and those receiving dialysis are more prone to compromised periodontal health status. Dialysis patients may form calculus more rapidly than healthy individuals possibly due to high salivary urea and phosphate levels. Studies prove that non-surgical periodontal therapy significantly improves the periodontal status and also reduces inflammatory mediators which ultimately improve the glomerular filtration rate. Method: This was designed as a pilot study and was performed between 2018 and 2019. The inclusion criteria were CKD patie.. Read More»
