Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: The use of implants to treat edentulous jaws has become a well-established and accepted contemporary clinical method. Interest in the use of implants for fully or partially edentulous patients has increased. Aim: To evaluate the prosthetic complications experienced by implant supported over-denture patients. Materials and method: The present study was conducted in the department of prosthodontics of the dental institution. For the study, selection of edentulous patients rehabilitated using implant denture by the department was done. A total of 29 patients with 40 dentures participated in the study, of which 23 were mandibular and 17 were maxillary. 15 patients out of 40 were males and 14 patients were females. The mean age of the patients was 66.32 years, ranging from 48- 88 years. Results: A total of 29 patients participated in the study. 40 implant supported dentures, 23 mandibular and 17 maxillary were given to these patients. Maximum no of patients were observed in age-group of 70-79 years. Based on sex of patients, 15 were males and 14 were females. The results were statistically significant with p value less than 0.05. The most common complication observed was denture fracture in fully edentulous dentures, followed by artificial tooth fracture. Conclusion: Fewer complications are observed by patients with partially edentulous patients. Also, most common prosthetic complication observed was denture fracture followed by artificial tooth fracture.
