Aim:To determine the nature,incidence,and severity of oral manifestations that occur in chronic renal failure patients in Chengalpattu district Tamilnadu. Methods: A total of 100 people participated in the study—50 CRF patients and 50 controls.The control group was chosen from the same age range as the case group,had a normal GFR,and seemed to be disease-free.The case group was chosen at random from a population of CRF patients with GFR values between 15 and 30 mL/min. To rule out any signs, the patients underwent an intraoral examination. The outcomes of the investigation were then contrasted with those of several other comparable studies. Results:The most prevalent oral conditions in CRF patients were halitosis (34%),changed taste (42%),pallor (88%),and dry mouth (90%).CRF patients had much greater oral alterations than individuals in the control group. These alterations could be attributable to metabolic problems brought on by renal failure. Conclusion: Significant oral alterations in the individuals who were the subject of the study provided evidence of the influence of CRF on the oral cavity and suggested a connection between CRF and oral health. To link the severity of such alterations to disease progression, more research is needed.
