Relation between dental treatment and renaltransplantation
Answers
The second position of the cause of death of renal transplant (RTx) recipients is an infection in our country. Therefore, the management of the infection before and after the RTx is important in improving the prognosis of RTx recipients. By the way, most of RTx of our country are living RTx, and there is extremely little cadaveric RTx, and the mean waiting time of cadaveric RTx is extremely long with approximately 15 years. As for the living RTx, the preoperative close inspection is carried out for plan surgery elaborately, but, in cadaveric RTx, the pre-operative examination of the patients is often insufficient for emergency surgery. During a RTx wait, many patients conduct the systemic evaluations such as endoscopy, the computed tomography in hemodialysis (HD) centers, but the treatment of oral lesions such as tooth caries, periodontal disease is not performed enough in many cases. It is with infection focus by an immunosuppressive drug after RTx when we perform RTx without these being treated enough and it is sometimes aggravated and comes to have a poor prognosis. Therefore the treatment of the oral lesion of RTx recipients is important.
