Abstract


Children suffering from common health disorders, respectively with suppressed immunity, including children with diagnosed pyelonephritis and nephrotic syndrome, are characterized with the definite predisposition to functional disturbances and deviations from the physiological norm, related to impact upon structures of the oral-maxillary-facial region. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between clinical and environmental factors for caries in children with diagnosed pyelonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. The object of the research is represented by 41 healthy children, 24 patients of child’s age with the established nephrotic syndrome and 92 children with the diagnosis of pyelonephritis. A combination of clinical, statistical and sociological methods have been applied. The average values of the indicators number of carious lesions and number of carious spots are greatest in participants with the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. A moderate negative correlation between the level of education of parents and number of carious lesions in children has been ascertained. The enhancement of educational qualification of parents corresponds to the reduction of children’s teeth and teeth surfaces afflicted by caries. Based on the calculated coefficient by Pearson (-0,336) has been recorded moderate negative relation between the social-economic status of the family and the number of carious lesions in examined children with renal diseases and healthy controls. We can conclude that the low level of educational qualification of parents and declined social-economic status of families are associated with high caries rate afflicting dentition of participants.
