Restorative Dental Treatment in a Patient with Mild –Moderate Chronic Kidney Disease (Stages 1–3)

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2 have mildly damaged kidneys but they still work well. The dentist can proceed with the required restorative dental treatment, which is considered a low-risk non-surgical dental procedure, with no major complications expected. Patients with CKD stage 3 have moderate impairment of renal function with altered drug metabolism, bioavailability, and rate of excretion. Diabetes is a common comorbidity in patients with CKD.
