BACKGROUND: This study investigated the epidemiology of @entity8845 ( @entity8845 ) and @entity8845 ( @entity8845 ) in hemodialysis @entity1 and analyzed the influences of @entity2742 on the formation of oral tori. METHOD: During 2013, 119 hemodialysis @entity1 were recruited for dental examinations for this study. RESULTS: The prevalence of oral tori in our sample group was high at 33.6% (40 of 119). The most common location of tori was @entity8845 (70.0%), followed by @entity8845 (20.0%), and then both @entity8845 and @entity8845 (10.0%). Of the 40 tori cases, most (67.5%) were <2 cm in size; moreover, the majority (52.5%) were flat in shape. In symmetry, most (70.0%) occurred in the midline, followed by bilateral sides (20.0%). Notably, the levels of intact parathyroid hormone did not differ in @entity1 with or without tori (P = 0.611). Furthermore, @entity1 with tori did not differ from @entity1 without tori in inflammatory variables such as log high-sensitivity @entity1851 (P = 1.000) or nutritional variables such as albumin (P = 0.247). Finally, there were no differences between @entity1 with and without tori in adequacy of dialysis (P = 0.577). CONCLUSIONS: Neither @entity2742 nor inflammation @entity3147 was found to contribute to the formation of oral tori in chronic hemodialysis @entity1 . Further studies are warranted.
