Our secondary aim was to compare the frequency of temporomandibular joint disorders between patients with end-stage kidney disease treated with hemodialysis versus peritoneal dialysis. Methods: All participants completed a questionnaire and underwent a dental evaluation to confirm temporomandibular joint disorder. Results: The frequencies of temporomandibular joint disorders were 13% and 8.9% in the patient and control groups (P =.35), respectively, and 13.4% and 12% in the hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis groups, respectively (P = 0.85). Conclusions: We observed no difference in temporomandibular joint disorder frequency between patients with end-stage kidney disease who received hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis as kidney replacement therapy and between patients with ESKD and healthy individuals. Further large-scale studies are warranted to gain a deeper understanding of this topic.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDialysisend-stage kidney diseaseperitoneal dialysissleep bruxismtemporomandibular joint diseasesarticle3143353410009519411000112-s2.0-851429273942667-4440
