Abstract
AIM
To compare tooth loss (TL) in ESRD (ESRD DM) and non-ESRD (DM) type 2 diabetic patients.
METHODS
Teeth loss was quantified, and dentition classified as: Non-Compromised (NCD) with > or = 25 teeth, partially compromised (PCD) with 9 to 24, and compromised (CD) with 0 to 8 teeth.
RESULTS
ESRD DM and DM: n> or = 103 and 130, mean age 57.9 and 58.5 yr (p> or =0.716), and at diabetes diagnosis 38.5 and 47.8 yr (p<0.001). Edentulous 23.5% and 13.8% (p> or =0.057), NCD 24.5% and 35.4% (p> or =0.074). TL was strongly associated mainly to periodontal disease (p<0.001). For ESRD DM, a low serum albumin (<3.5 g/dl) was more prevalent in peritoneal dialysis cases (p> or =0.0014), women (p> or =0.0100), people reporting unpleasant taste (UT) (p> or =0.0174), and those with a CD (p> or =0.0242).
CONCLUSIONS
There was a clear trend for more severe TL in ESRD DM cases, but no statistical difference was found. The association between low serum albumin, UT and CD imply a need for treatment of these conditions as a part of nutritional intervention in ESRD DM cases.
