Abstract :

Introduction and aim: The periodontal disease may represent a risk factor in patients with chronic kidney disease; we proposed an evaluation of the periodontal pathogens in patients with periodontal disease, with and without chronic kidney disease. Methods: The periodontal status of the patients, divided in two groups (test group - with chronic kidney disease and a control group) was assessed and samples of gingival crevicular fluid were taken to detect the periodontal pathogens by polymerase chain reaction methods. Results: The red complex bacteria were more frequent in patients with chronic kidney disease. The local bacterial loading may exert severe systemic effects in patients with chronic kidney disease and the periodontal therapy could improve the prognosis in these patients. Conclusions: The high frequencies of aggressive periodontal pathogens and of severe forms of periodontal disease determine a rigorous approach in these patients, with frequent control visits.
