Effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on renal function in chronic kidney disease patients with periodontitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventional studies

ConclusionsThere is insufficient evidence to conclude the potential benefit of NSPT on renal function in CKD patients with periodontitis.Clinical relevancePeriodontitis contributes to the inflammatory burden and has been associated with impaired kidney function in many observational studies. However, well-designed clinical trials in pre-dialysis patients investigating the impact of NSPT on renal function –related parameters are missing.
