Dental implant treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a global public health problem threatening human health and affects the function of multiple organ systems. The oral health of patients is often affected as the disease progresses. Dental implants have become the best way to repair tooth loss. It is necessary and challenging to provide safe and reliable dental implant treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease. Dental clinicians should evaluate the health of patients comprehensively, complete blood biochemistry, coagulation function, and imaging examinations, and provide feasible, reliable and personalized treatment plans. During the treatment phase, dental clinicians need to consider prophylactic antibiotics, painless minimally invasive surgery, infection control, and delayed restoration, and they must cooperate with other clinicians in multiple disciplines to reduce risks to provide personalized, safe, and effective oral implant treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease.
