title: Dental management of patients with renal failure.
abstract: Renal disease has become increasingly more prevalent in our society. There are many more people undergoing dialysis treatment and kidney transplants than there were only a decade ago. The dental care of these patients can be complex, given the medications associated with the disease and the medical conditions that result from inadequately functioning kidneys. This article reviews the literature regarding the dental management of patients with acute and chronic renal failure.
