Postoperative Healing in Renal Failure Patients after Teeth Extraction

ABSTRACT

Aim: To compare the postoperative course between the CRF patients and the control group in terms ofpostoperative pain, bleeding, and healing.Materials and Methods: Prospective cohort study. Study group CRF patients referred for dental extraction whofit the inclusion criteria. Control group healthy patients referred for teeth extraction. Perioperative managementwas recorded, and postoperative pain, bleeding, and healing were assessed on postoperative days 2, 4, and 7 asoutcomes.Results: forty patients were included in the study. Demographic variables were comparable between control andstudy patients; pain, bleeding, and healing were not statistically different between the two groups. Only thenumber of dialysis sessions per week was linked to improved healing in the study group.Conclusion: When prophylactic antibiotic and local hemostatic measures are used in CRF patients undergoingextraction, postoperative healing is comparable with healthy controls. Within the CRF group number ofhemodialysis sessions per week is linked to improved healing outcomes.
