Course Description:
This course delves into the complex oral health issues faced by individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and their broader implications on systemic well-being. This material provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges CKD patients encounter. This course explores how CKD leads to a myriad of oral health complications, including periodontitis, dental plaque accumulation, enamel abnormalities, premature tooth loss, and xerostomia. The course discusses practical solutions to manage oral problems in CKD patients.Furthermore, the course addresses erosive tooth wear (ETW) and other oral manifestations associated with CKD, such as non-plaque-induced gingival redness, Morsicatio buccarum, mucosal petechiae, and Sialolithiasis. It underscores the significant association between severe oral inflammation and poor metabolic control in predialysis CKD patients, advocating for individualized approaches to enhance dental and oral hygiene, which can
substantially reduce oral inflammation in CKD patients.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the prevalence and primary causes of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) globally.
2. Identify the various oral health issues commonly associated with CKD, including periodontitis, dental plaque accumulation, enamel abnormalities, and xerostomia.
3. Explore the complications arising from hyposalivation in CKD patients, such as mouth burning, speech and chewing difficulties, plaque buildup, and oral infections.
4. Learn practical solutions for managing oral problems in CKD patients, including appropriate dental hygiene practices and preventive measures.
5. Recognize the significance of individualized approaches to improve dental and oral hygiene in CKD patients to reduce oral inflammation and enhance overall well-being.
