Evaluation of Site Predilection of Alveoloplasty in Complete Denture - A Retrospective Study

Abstract

Alveoplasty is the common pre prosthetic procedure. It is done to provide a better anatomic environment and create proper supporting structures for denture construction. The aim of the pre prosthetic surgery is to improve the better retention and stability of complete denture. Alveoloplasty is done to improve the quality and condition of the hard and soft oral aiding structures, so that they can provide retentive, supportful and stable dentures.The aim of the study is to evaluate the site predilection of alveoplasty procedure for complete denture.The Retrospective study was conducted in the University setting. Data were collected from the patients who visited Dental college. We Reviewed patient records and analysed the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020, 120 patients data were included out of 86000 patients. The reports included Age , Gender , anatomical site of alveoloplasty done. Records on each case were examined and tabulation of the data was done in excel sheets followed by statistical analysis using SPSS software with Chi -Square test.The results were obtained as graphs and charts. The study had a total sample of 120 subjects out of which 52.5% were male and 46.7% were female. Carried out in a age group of 33 -83 years. 35% of participants in the age group of 55 -65 years had undergone Alveoloplasty more when compared to other age groups. 62% of Males underwent Alveoloplasty more when compared to females (38%). Alveoloplasty was performed more in lower arch (32.9%) when compared to other sites. Within the limitation of the study ,Males underwent Alveoloplasty more when compared to females. Alveoloplasty was performed predominantly more in lower arch when compared to other sites.
