PURPOSE: Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for children with severe heart, liver, and kidney diseases. These patient groups may have more oral and dental diseases than healthy controls. It is important to eliminate oral infection foci before transplantation and to maintain good oral health to avoid potential post-transplant complications. The aim of this study was to describe and compare oral health in Finnish paediatric heart, liver, and kidney transplant recipients prior to organ transplantation.
METHODS: Eighty-six children who received a heart (n = 21), liver (n = 19), or kidney (n = 46) transplant in Finland during the years 2014-2018 were included in this study. The inclusion criterion was a pre-transplantation oral examination. Oral hygiene, enamel anomalies, and the number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) were analyzed retrospectively from medical and dental records and compared between the three patient groups.
RESULTS: Children with liver (p = 0.043) or heart (p = 0.047) disease had higher combined primary and permanent dentition dmft/DMFT scores compared to children with kidney disease. A higher combined dmft/DMFT score was associated with poor oral hygiene (p = 0.005). No significant differences in oral hygiene between the patient groups were found. Furthermore, all patient groups had a high prevalence of developmental dental defects.
CONCLUSION: Children with liver or heart disease seem to have a higher combined dmft/DMFT score, indicating a higher prevalence of caries compared to children with kidney disease. Prevention of dental caries, along with promoting a good oral hygiene routine and regular check-ups, is suggested in these patient groups.
