Abstract:
A comparison of relative dental pulp size in chronic renal disease patients with dental pulp size in healthy controls revealed a significant pulp narrowing in the kidney disease group (n = 44). A strong correlation between the chronicity of the renal disease and the pulp narrowing was found in the premolar and molar teeth of the tested group. A review of the literature concerning pulp narrowing is also presented.
