WITH PYELONEPHRITIS

N
ow a days the conversance of nurses’ teams with oral-dental status of patients suffering from different dis-
eases and nurses’awareness of the clinical traits of disorders affecting hard teeth structures and soft tissues
into oral cavity, as well as the interrelations with common health conditions is not adequately corresponding
to the necessity of individualized therapeutic approach. The process of optimization of quality and duration
of life of children suffering from pyelonephritis, characterized as one of the most widely distributed infectious
diseases in childhood, outlines one of the most explicit contemporary tendencies of collaboration between
medicine and dental medicine doctors and nurses. The precise control of the common health disorder parallel
to the thorough evaluation and adequate management of the oral-dental status of the individual determine
the specific principles of prophylactic cares and therapy in the context of personalized medicine. The aim of
this study is to investigate behavioral patterns for caries risk management in children with pyelonephritis. The
subject of the study is a total number of 92 patients in different periods of childhood with established excretory
system disorder of pyelonephritis and 41 healthy children. A combination of clinical, statistical and sociolog-
ical methods has been applied into the research. Only 15.22% of the representatives with established kidney
disorder take part in prophylactic dental examinations twice per year in comparison to 65.85% of the healthy
controls. The dominating ratios of 70.65% of the parents of children with pyelonephritis seek for dental health-
care services only in emergency, compared to 24.39% of the parents of healthy participants. Proper oral-dental
status of brothers or sisters has been registered only among 16.30 % of children with pyelonephritis. Parallel to
them, more than 1/3 of healthy participants, namely 34.15% are characterized with proper oral-dental status of
their brothers or sisters. More than 2/3 of the parents of healthy children are with higher education and in the
group of patients with pyelonephritis there are illiterate parents and parents with low level of education. About
1/3 of the families of patients with pyelonephritis are ranked in low social-economic status. The obtained data
serve as a source of essential information for composition, organization and performance of educational pro-
grams conceptually related to the significance of proper oral-dental status, without foci of persisting infections,
for adequate control and precise management of common health disorders.
