Core Tip

Core tip: Periodontitis is gaining extensive public recognition due to its devastating impact on systemic diseases. Its association with chronic kidney disease is believed to be in a reciprocal or bidirectional fashion and has been extensively studied. In this review article, careful selection of involved studies was performed. This paper, thus, illustrates both the supporting and conflicting results of current publications pertaining to the association of periodontal disease and a variety of renal illnesses including glomerular diseases, and dialysis and kidney transplant populations.
