“…These results are in agreement with other previous studies on the prevalence of partially edentulous arches . Charyeva et al found a majority of Kennedy Class III mandibular and maxillary arches and Niarchou found a majority of Kennedy Class I in both arches.…”

“…Pun et al found a nearly even number of maxillary versus mandibular RPDs, but the increased incidence of maxillary Class III (46.4%) compared to that found by Curtis et al (23%) may signal a lack of progress toward controlling dental disease. Also, the prevalence of mandibular RPDs could be related to a pattern of tooth loss and may lead to the many problems associated with mandibular complete dentures …”

“…In this study, there were more mandibular dentures (323) than maxillary (233). In addition, mandibular Class I was more prevalent mainly in patients between 40 and 60 years, which is in agreement with previous studies 4,5,12,16,19,25,[27][28][29] . The prevalence of mandibular RPDs is related to the pattern of teeth loss and related problems 27,29 .…”

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2012.00653.x   Prevalence of removable partial dentures users treated at the Aracatuba Dental School – UNESP Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of removable partial dentures (RPD) at the Aracatuba Dental School. Methods: The study was conducted by analysing 412 clinical history of patients attended at the RPD clinics in the period from 2000 to 2007. Results: 412 charts were analysed: 148 (35.9%) men and 264 (64.1%) women. The mean age was 53.8 years (men) and 52.4 years (women). A total of 556 dentures were made; of these, 233 (41.90%) were maxillary and 323 (58.09%) were mandibular dentures. The most frequent Kennedy classification found was Class III (maxilla) and Class I (mandible). In the maxilla, 55% (126) of the major connectors were of the anterior–posterior palatal bar, while in the mandible, 64% (202) were the lingual bar. As regards the claps, 401 were circumferential and 318 were bar claps. Conclusion: The mean age of the patients was 52.9 years with higher prevalence of female patients; the most frequent Kennedy’s classification was Class I in mandible and Class III in maxilla; the most common major connector was anterior–posterior palatal bar for maxilla and lingual bar for mandible; the circumferential clasps were the most common retainer used in both jaws.

“…The frequency of various classes of partial edentulism and restoration types may reflect the aspects of the population on dental health prioritizations.6 Although several studies have been performed in different parts of the world on the prevalence of various classes of partial edentulism, classes of RPDs, and/or restoration types, 3,6,7,9,[11][12][13] there are no data available on both frequency of Kennedy classification and their treatment options in a subpopulation in Turkey. Therefore, the aim of this study was (i) to investigate the prevalence of partial edentulism classes, and (ii) to identify the prosthetic treatment options, such as overdenture, removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, implant or no restoration, for patients attending the Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul, Turkey.…”

“…5 There are many partial edentulism classification methods, however, Kennedy's classification is the most widely accepted method to classify the partially edentulous arches. 6,7 There are four main types in Kennedy classification; Class I (bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to the remaining natural teeth), Class II (a unilateral edentulous area located posterior to the remaining natural teeth), Class III (a unilateral edentulous area with natural teeth remaining both anterior and posterior to it), and Class IV (a single bilateral edentulous area located anterior to the remaining natural teeth).…”

SUMMARY Aim:The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of various types of partial edentulism, and type of prosthetic restorations most commonly chosen to treat the patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted in Department of Prosthodontics, Dental School of Yeditepe, Turkey, by examining the digital record system of the faculty. The patients were selected randomized and the inclusion criteria were; patients who had partial edentulism at least on their one jaw, who had panoramic radiographs, whose treatment had been finished, and who had no treatment. Age, gender, Kennedy classification and treatment options were recorded. Descriptive statistical methods and Chisquare test were used to analyze data. An alpha level of 0.05 was used for all statistical analyses. Results: There were 345 patients (147 males, 198 females) with the mean age of 50.88±14.09 years. Kennedy III was the most common in the maxilla (71.1%) and in the mandible (55.9%). Partial edentulism was most frequently managed by fixed partial dentures in the maxilla (57.9%) and in the mandible (41.7%). Implant treatment was applied to 13-14% of the patients. Conclusions: Dental implants were the least common treatment option for partial edentulism. Fixed partial dentures were the most common treatment for Kennedy III and IV, whereas removable partial dentures were the most common for Kennedy I and II.

Abstract: A combination of the two major philosophies of RPD design (biomechanical and hygienic) was evident in the RPDs examined in our study.
