Introduction: The association between periodontal disease (PD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is bidirectional, as individuals with CKD may have oral manifestations, and PD may develop as a complicating factor of CKD. The systemic inflammatory response found in periodontal patients may have a synergistic effect on the chronic inflammation found in CKD. Objective: To review the literature to find evidence of the importance of the association between these two conditions. Methods: A PubMed search of studies published between 2003 and 2013 was conducted to retrieve clinical trials and systematic reviews. Results: Six clinical trials and one systematic review met the established criteria. Clinical trials used different approaches for the association between PD and CKD. Studies investigating the association between PD and CKD used a crossover design, evaluation of the oral manifestations in patients with CKD, and analysis of the effect of periodontal treatment on markers of renal disease. Conclusion: In addition to systemic functions, CKD also affects oral health, particularly causing periodontal tissues. Moreover, PD may affect kidney functions and lead to complications in individuals with CKD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Inferior alveolar nerve lateralization is an option to treat atrophic mandibles whose rehabilitation with prostheses may be limited due to vertical resorption in the posterior region and the short distance between the mandibular canal and the alveolar ridge. This surgery may result in paresthesia and sensory disturbances along the nerve path. Objective: To evaluate inferior alveolar nerve function and patient satisfaction after lateralization Methods: Twenty lateralization procedures were performed together with immediate placement of 52 implants. The same surgeon operated on all patients following a standardized surgical protocol. Six months after surgery, the patients answered a questionnaire about sensory changes after surgery and satisfaction with the results of the procedure. Results: All patients reported initial transient sensory disturbances and improvement at a mean 45 days after surgery, and some reported improvement after the third day. One had not recovered completely after 6 months. Despite sensory changes, all patients would undergo the procedure again if necessary and would recommend it to others. Conclusions: Inferior alveolar nerve lateralization seems to be safe and predictable, with minimal and reversible sensory changes and no significant damage to patients when performed according to a standardized surgical protocol.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal treatment effect on dentin hypersensitivity. Methods: This study comprised 20 patients diagnosed and treated of chronic periodontitis in the Dental Clinic of Uningá School of Dentistry (Maringá, Brazil). Patients were evaluated for dentin sensitivity by VAS scale before non-surgical periodontal treatment and after 10 to 14 days of its conclusion. Results: According to the VAS scale, patients presented an average sensitivity of 3.05 + 3.00 before the beginning of periodontal treatment. At the end of the treatment there was a significant reduction to 1.00 + 1.45 in the average dentin hypersensitivity. Conclusion: Based on the outcomes of the present study, it can be concluded that nonsurgical periodontal treatment, associated to a modification of oral hygiene habits, was able to reduce dentin hypersensitivity in subjects with chronic periodontitis.
