Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD)

• Registration Number: NCT06879223
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Children with CKD are at higher risk for poor oral health28 due to factors such as compromised immunity, medication side effects, and dietary restrictions. Poor oral health can lead to pain, infection, and difficulties in eating and speaking, which in turn negatively affects their quality of life. This study is designed to address this gap by exploring how an oral health educational program could improve the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in this group.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Oral health related quality of life	3 months	it will be assessed using a questionnaire and the measurement unit is percentage

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Developmental enamel defect.	3 months	it will be assessed using the DDE (Developmental Defects of Enamel) index and the measurement unit is Mean SD.; The DDE index categorizes defects into three main types: Opacities: Changes in enamel translucency, which can be diffuse or demarcated. Hypoplasia: A quantitative defect where enamel is thinner or missing in certain areas.; Discoloration: Changes in enamel color due to structural abnormalities. higher scores means worse outcome.
Caries experience.	3 months	it will be assessed using the def(decayed, extracted,filled) index and the measurement unit is Mean SD.; The def score is the sum of these values, providing an indication of oral health in children before their permanent teeth emerge.; higher scores means worse outcome.
Caries experience	3 months	it will be assessed using the DMF (Decayed, Missing, Filled) index and the measurement unit is mean SD.; The DMF score is the sum of these values, indicating the overall caries experience in an individual or population. Unlike the def index, which applies to primary teeth, the DMF index is used for permanent teeth.; higher scores means worse outcome.
