Abstract

Objective: The aim was to compare dental and skeletal indices in panoramic radiography between patients undergoing haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and age- and sex-matched control group.

Methods: In this comparative cross-sectional study, quantitative Indices including Antegonial Index (AI), Mental Index (MI), Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI) and qualitative indices including Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI) and Trabecular Pattern (TP) were evaluated in panoramic images of 32 haemodialysis patients, 14 patients under peritoneal dialysis and 52 healthy individuals. The images were also investigated for pulp canal calcification, pulp stones, soft tissue calcification, changes in or loss of lamina dura, radiolucencies associated with brown tumour and ridge resorption. The indices were compared between the three groups and were investigated for association with the patients' blood test parameters and their diseases causing chronic renal failure (CRF). Intraobserver agreement for the 2-week interval of assessment was calculated for the indices.

Results: MI ( = 0.574) and PMI ( = 0.100) were not significantly different, but AI ( = 0.01), MCI ( < 0.001) and TP ( = 0.002) were significantly different between the two case groups and the control group. The prevalence of pulp calcification ( = 0.03) and ridge resorption ( = 0.005) was higher in the haemodialysis group. Soft tissue calcification ( = 0.85) and lamina dura changes ( = 0.9) showed no significant difference. Brown tumours were observed in only one case in the haemodialysis group.

Conclusions: AI, MCI and TP showed a reduction in mineral density of the cortical and trabecular bone in CRF patients and more severely in patients under haemodialysis than those under peritoneal dialysis.
