Need for repeated orthopedic treatment with complete secondary adentia

Abstract

Aim.The aim of the research is in determining a patient’s need in repeated prosthesis with full removable denture. Materials and methods. 609 people (304 men and 305 women) aged 45-92 that needed full removable denture and repeated full removable denture were analyzed. According to the law of processing statistical data during examination of patients, they were divided into the following age groups: 45-59, 60-74, 75-80, 90 and more years old. 4 of the patients were less than 45 years old, so they were linked to the 45-59 age group. 3 patients were over 90 years old, so they were linked to 75-89 age group.

Rezults. There were 14 more women than men among the people that were provided with dental care. Also, among the patients who received dental care, the majority was the second age group (60-74 y.o.) 49,0% of the total number of patients. Comparatively less patients were in the third group (75-89 y.o.) 13,0% of the total number of patients. Thus, 134 patients (52,76 %) applied for the manufacture of complete removable dentures for the first time. 120 patients (47,24%) needed repeated prosthesis. From the patients that needed repeated prosthesis 24 people (20,0%) first, 26 people (21,67%) second, 32 people (26,67%) third, 18 people (15,0%) fourth, 16 people (13,33%) fifth, and 4 people (3,33%) sixth time were having prosthesis. With secondary full adentia, over time, more obvious visual changes are observed associated with atrophy of the soft tissues of the prosthetic bed of the dental system, and also similar processes occur in hard tissues as a result of resorption. After orthopedic treatment of full secondary adentia with full.
