Objetivo: Avaliar a satisfação do paciente portador de prótese parcial removível com relação à retenção, estética, fala, mastigação e conforto da prótese. Avaliou-se ainda a influência de fatores, tais como o uso de prótese dentária anterior, idade, sexo, estado civil, escolaridade, presença de doença crônica e tabagismo. Método: O estudo foi feito na Clínica do Departamento de Prótese Removível da Faculdade de Medicina Dentária em Sarajevo. Foram analisados 75 pacientes portadores de prótese parcial removível, os quais responderam a um questionário contendo informações referentes ao uso de prótese, idade, sexo, estado civil, escolaridade, presença de doença crônica, tabagismo, os quais foram classificados com notas de 1 a 5. Resultados: A nota média mais alta foi dada para a fala com prótese removível superior (4,73), e a menor foi para a mastigação com ambas as próteses (3,97). Considerando a mastigação com próteses parciais, as mulheres estavam mais satisfeitas do que os homens. Conclusão: Os pacientes estão em sua maioria satisfeitos com suas próteses dentárias, as quais foram julgadas como satisfatórios pelo cirurgião-dentista. Existem diferenças entre os sexos com o nível de satisfação com as próteses com relação à mastigação. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess patient's satisfaction with retention, aesthetics, chewing, speech and comfort of wearing removable partial denture. Also, the aim of this study is to assess the influence of factors, such as previous wearing of denture, age, gender, marital status, level of education, presence of chronic disease and smoking habits on patient's satisfaction with therapy. Method: Study was done at Clinic and Department of Removable Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine in Sarajevo. In study were involved 75 patients who have removable partial denture. They filled out questionnaire with personal data about wearing of the denture, age, gender, marital status, level of education , presence of chronic disease, smoking habits and they graded some aspects of wearing denture with grade from 1 to 5. Results: The highest average grade is given for speech with upper removable denture(4.73), and the lowest was for chewing with both dentures (3.97). Considering the chewing with partial dentures, women were more satisfied then men. Conclusion: Patients are mostly satisfied with their dentures, which are judged as satisfactory by dentist. There is difference between patients of different gender in a level of satisfaction with their dentures in chewing.
<div class="WordSection1"><p><strong>Objective. </strong>To evaluate and compare the water sorption of three luting cements in three different solutions: distilled water and artificial saliva with different pH values (7.4 and 3.0). <strong>Materials and methods</strong>. Resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (GC Fuji Plus) and two resin cements (Multilink Automix and Variolink II) were used. A total of 45 specimens - 15 specimens (15x1 mm) for each cement were prepared according to ISO standard 4049:2009. The water sorptions of the cements were calculated by weighing the specimens before and after immersion and desiccation. <strong>Results. </strong>Nonparametric statistic methods were applied. GC Fuji Plus cement showed significantly higher values of water sorption in all three solutions of both resin cements (p<0.009) and significantly higher values of sorption in artificial saliva pH 3.0. Multilink Automix showed significantly higher values of water sorption compared with Variolink II in artificial saliva pH 7.4, and higher values of sorption in this solution compared with pH value 3.0. <strong>Con- clusion. </strong>Water sorption values are mainly influenced by the proportion of hydrophilic matrix, the type and composition of filler, and the pH value of solutions.</p></div>
Objectives The development of third molars can be helpful in dental age estimation of adolescents and in early adult period. We tested the repeatability and accuracy of the three dental age radiographic methods (Olze, Demirjian and Solari and Abramovitch) and evaluated which method is more useful. We also aimed at testing to find the correlation of estimated dental and chronological age by these three methods. Material and methods The orthopantomographs (OPGs) of 1007 individuals (8 - 25 years) were divided into two groups (cca 500 OPGs) - one group of OPGs has been presented with all four third molars, while another one was registered with third molar/s hypodontia. And all of OPGs were assessed, to verify the three methods (Olze, Demirjian and Solari and Abramovitch) for age estimation based on third molar development. Results There was a high Spearman's correlation coefficient between stages of development of wisdom tooth and chronological age of subjects by all these three methods. Conclusion We may recommend using third molars for assessing the dental age by Olze, Demirjian and Solari and Abramovitch dental method as well, on Bosnian and Herzegovinian population.
