Abstract
The number of patients with renal failure disease on hemodyalisis (HD) is increased and they require special attention and care from dentists, usually patients with end stage renal disease have another medical conditions as Diabetic, Hypertension, immunosuppression, using antihypertensive or anti coagulant or antiplatelet medications, making the dental treatment more complex , these patients develop a lot of oral and dental problems such as enamel hypoplasia, enamel attrition, periodontal disease, drug induced gingivitis, oral infections, ulcerations, and bone alterations due to hyperparathyroidisim, osteoporosis, narrowing of pulp chamber, osteosclorosis of the roots and abnormal bone healing after extraction, therefore dentists must be aware about these manifestations that may occur due to renal diseases. Dental care among these patients and preventive measures seems to have been neglected, and dentists are not aware about the oral, dental and bone manifestations that may occur as a result of renal failure, therefore the aim of this study is to measure the prevalence of radiographicbone and oral soft tissues and teeth manifestations among Saudi adult patients with renal failure on HD, and to find the relationship between the duration of renal failure/dialysis and the appearance of bone, soft tissue and teeth manifestations.
