Risks Factors of Caries and Periodontal Diseases in the Patients, after 5 Years Use a Partial Removable Denture

Abstract

Objective: The goal of the removable partial denture is to restore impaired esthetics and masticatory function by replacing missing teeth. The aim of this study was to establish a possible correlation between removable partial denture in acrylic resin use after 5 years and dental diseases. Materials and Methods: Partially edentulous patients presenting for removable denture treatment at the Prosthodontics service of the Affiliated Hospital of Kinshasa University, Democratic Republic of Congo were assessed in this study. Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups: Denture and non-denture group. Caries and periodontal diseases were compared between both groups. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The average age in the denture and non-denturegroup was 53.15 (±SD 22.05) and 31.59 (±SD 11.98) years. Out of 160 teeth were decayed, both 110 teeth (68.75%) in the denture-group and 50 teeth (31.25%) in the non-denture group. The DMFT index calculated at start time of the study was 0.2 for both groups, after five years was 7.1 for the denture-group and 2.6 for the non-denture-group. The plaque index in the denture-group had an index of 1 and that of non-denture-group was 0.5. Conclusion: The relationship has been found between patients' wearers a RPD and dental diseases.

Clinical Evaluation of the Effect of Implant-Supported and Implant Retained Distal Extension Removable Partial Dentures on the Supporting Structures

“…Despite continuous patient motivation for oral hygiene measures for all patients in both groups, Group II showed significant decrease in the percentages from grade 0 after 3 and 6 months this could be due to careless handling for oral hygiene measure in this group. These results agree with result conducted by Augustin et al, that found there are significant differences between study and control groups regarding gingival index, they attributed the cause due to poor oral care [38]. Continuous and routine follow-up of the implant patient with periodic assessment of plaque and calculus for both groups, after 12 months there was non-significant change from time of insertion.…”

Mechanical Properties, Cytotoxicity, and Fluoride Ion Release Capacity of Bioactive Glass-Modified Methacrylate Resin Used in Three-Dimensional Printing Technology

“…Their presence in the oral cavity disrupts the natural saliva flow to the places where the resin appliances come in direct contact with the natural teeth. The lack of saliva flow to these areas leads to a decrease in the pH value over the period of time, which can subsequently cause the growth of the microbes responsible for caries formation [ 17 ]. The main compounds used in the synthesis of 3D-printed resins are acrylate and methacrylate resins, and it is a well-known fact that these materials do not show bacteriostatic properties when used for a prolonged period of time [ 5 , 9 ].…”

Gingival Health Status of Abutment Teeth in Acrylic Removable Partial Denture

“…It was reported that dental caries was 6 times more frequently reported in patients with removable partial dentures compared with those not wearing dentures. 16 In a Pakistani study conducted by Ali M et al, there were 100 subjects enrolled in the study and followed up for 1 year to assess periodontal health status after using removable partial denture. An increased prevalence of periodontitis regardless of age and gender was reported among the removable partial denture users and the most common factor contributing to poor oral health was said to be lack of awareness, followed by low socioeconomic status.…”
