Overview
The purpose of this prospective study is to determine the effect of non-surgical root canal treatment in chronic kidney disease patients and healthy patients with apical periodontitis.
Description
It has been found that there is an association between prevalence of odontogenic infection and systemic diseases. An elevated level of systemic cytokines has been observed in conjunction with both AP and CKD . The proinflammatory status and impaired immune response associated with systemic diseases (chronic kidney disease ) can affect the reparative response of the dental pulp and periapical healing. One study observed significant positive relation between number of diagnosed AP and urea serum level . A 4.35-mg/dL increase in the urea serum level could be expected per 1-unit increase in the number of teeth with AP. Improving oral health care through nonsurgical endodontic treatment(NSET) may improve the systemic inflammatory status and improve renal function.
The aim of this prospective study is to determine the effect of non-surgical root canal treatment in chronic kidney disease patients and healthy patients with apical periodontitis
- Clinical and radiographic success rate will be considered as primary outcome, will be checked at baseline,6months,12months follow up.Periapical status will be checked according to periapical index given by Orstavik
- Reduction in inflammatory(hsCRP) and kidney makers(serum urea , creatinine , eGFR) will be considered as secondary outcome, will be checked at baseline,3months,6months follow up.
