Article title: Dental abnormalities in children with chronic renal failure
Journal: Pediatric Dentistry
Volume#4 number 4
Pages 281 – 285
Discussion/Results:
17 children with Chronic renal failure were examined radiographically and clinically. Enamel hypoplasia was the most common abnormality (11 out of the 17); results inidicated that geographic location on the teeth corresponded to the age of onset of advanced renal failure. Completely developed teeth were unaffected by formation or mineralization if CRF set in after development. Mild and moderate renal failure did not present any serious effects on the maturation of the enamel. Discoloration and hypocalcification although present were in much fewer percentages.
Author hypothesized that careful supplementation of vit D and dietary phosphorus reduction may diminish hyperparathyroidism which may decrease the severity of enamel hypoplasia
