Abstract

For the assessment of changes in the bone architecture of the maxilla and mandible in renal osteodystrophy, 31 chronic renal failure patients who were undergoing hemodialysis therapy were selected. They were evaluated through clinical oral examination, radiographic and biochemical examination. The results were as follows: 1. In 17 cases (54.8%), there were evidences of bony change in jawbone. 2. The most common dental radiographic finding was decreased bone density (14 cases, 45.2%). 3. The second most common dental radiographic finding was total or partial loss of lamina alveolar dura (11 cases, 35.5%). 4. The third most common dental radiographic finding was total or partial loss of inferior canal wall (8 cases, 25.8%). 5 cases showed evidences of bony change only in jawbone, and 5 cases only in hand, and 12 cases in both. 6. Serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and alkaline phosphatase values in hemodialysis group were much higher than in control group. 7. There were statistically significant correlation between bone density and lamina dura, and inferior alveolar canal wall.
