Body weight changes after complete denture in edentulous patients: A hospital based study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
This hospital based study was conducted to determine the amount of weight gain amongst edentulous patients undergoing complete denture treatment. Height and weight of edentulous patients who gave written informed consent were measured and Body Mass Index calculated at the time of denture treatment followed by 1month and 3 month intervals. Out of the total participants (n=53), 48 (90.66%) of the participants were more than 50 years of age. In this study although the weight gain after treatment was statistically insignificant a weight loss of 1-2 kgs was recorded in only 3 participants and only in those who complained of difficulty in mastication after treatment. Mean weight of participants after 3 months of complete denture treatment was 54.55 kgs with a SD of 10.28 kgs while mean BMI of the participants at that time was 22.92 with a SD of 3.84. The difference in the mean weight and BMI at the time of treatment and 3 months after treatment was statistically insignificant (p= 0.952and p= 1.086 respectively).43 (87.13%) participants gave positive feedback after denture treatment.
