Impact of Wearing Two Different Types of Partial Dentures on Oral Health-related Quality of Life in Geriatric Diabetic Patients – A Crossover Study

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of partially edentulous elderly diabetic patients before and after wearing heat-cured acrylic resin and flexible partial dentures.
 BACKGROUND: In the past two decades, an increased concern about the effect of oral conditions on a patient’s quality of life leads to the development of a wide range of OHRQoL measurements. There is a necessity for evaluation required for setting the measurements that are recommended to be used for different needs of geriatric patients.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred partially edentulous bilateral free-end saddle diabetic elderly patients have been randomly selected from the outpatient clinics of the Excellence Centre at National Research Centre. Heat-cured acrylic resin partial denture and flexible removable partial dentures were made for all patients. General oral health assessment questionnaire was completed before and after wearing the two types of partial dentures. The criteria of assessment were speech, mastication and associated pain, esthetics and physiological status, and general life satisfaction and practicing daily activity.
 RESULTS: The results revealed a significant improvement regarding all aspects of OHRQoL after wearing both partial dentures for diabetic elderly patients. More improvement was observed after wearing the flexible one.
 CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicated that OHRQoL in diabetic elderly patients was markedly improved by restoring edentulous spaces using flexible partial dentures than using heat-cured acrylic resin partial dentures.

Comparative study of the comfort in patients rehabilitated with three types of partial dentures

Abstract Introduction: At present, the researchers are targeted to improve and increase the biocompatibility of dental materials that are in direct contact with biological tissues. The biocompatibility of the dental materials that contact the tissues of the oral cavity present relevance for the patient, clinician, dental technician, and manufacturer. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was represented by the comparative research regarding the comfort of the patients wearing removable partial prostheses with clasps made of wire and flexible polymers. Material and Methods. Patients wearing partial dentures from Meliodent heat-cured acrylic resins with wipla wire clasps, flexible partial dentures made from Valplast and dentures with clasps of CuSil silicone rubber participated in this study. The research was performed on 3 groups, of 8 patients each, in which comfort levels (according to 5 criteria) were determined, after 6, 12, 18, respectively 24 months of the partial removable prostheses insertion in the oral cavity. Results. Presence of decubitus lesions of the oral mucosa in the clasps areas was noticed mostly in the Valplast polyamide dentures (37.5%), existence of color changes at the base of prostheses and of clasps area appeared in 37.5% of the third group (CuSil PAD) patients, no patient included in the study presented allergic reactions and at the third and fourth recall, only 1 patient of all groups complained of unpleasant taste in the oral cavity. Conclusion. The removable prosthetic restorations with clasps made of flexible polymers and CuSil gaskets of silicone rubber, although initially much more comfortable and therefore much better accepted by patients, after two years were no longer active, could not be activated and necessited technical restorations, compared to those made of wipla wire clasps, which were activated with pliers, or, in the case of fracture, were replaced by the technician in the dental laboratory.

Purpose: The recent proliferation of the aging population, oral health care is closely related to the mental health ofthe elderly is very important being recognized. Provide basic data for improving the quality of life for the elderly, todetermine whether the oral health of the elderly whether oral self-perception of health and any related wish.Methods: Surveys to May 20 from April 15, 2011, subjects were elderly and living in Daejeon and Chungnam277 people were examined. All the statistics using SPSS 18.0 for the determination of statistical significance, andthe significance level was 0.05.Results: 1. Recognized, the most common oral health, self-aware bad the state (46.2%) there was no significantdifference in the general characteristics according to self-Oral health status, remaining natural dimensions or theintra-oral prosthetic, there was no significant difference. More teeth, residual phase, in accordance with intra-oralprosthetic mandibular Not all dentures, partial dentures, full dentures net self-perception of oral health status betterrecognized.2. According to the type of partial dentures, oral health status self-phase, mixed mandibular removable, fixed,fixed, removable partial dentures in order to recognize that good oral health, self-aware state, showed between them,there was no significant difference.3. Of variable dimension that has nothing to do with the remaining natural maxillary and mandibular prostheticmaxillary prosthetic mandibular partial dentures, age income, a positive correlation was negatively correlated. Thecase of the mandible, the mandibular prosthetic mandibular partial denture, maxillary prosthetic, the amount ofincome were correlated.4. Intra-oral Prosthetics correlation variables in the maxillary, mandibular prosthesis, the positive correlationbetween income, age was negatively correlated, if the income of the mandible. Maxillary partial denture has nothingto do with the variable portion of the mandibular denture, age was a negative correlation was found.Conclusion: Satisfaction and how now it is important simply to live as long, but you need to pay attention to the

Influence of different types of partial dentures on dental plaque accumulation

The aim of the paper was to assess influence of different types of partial dentures on dental plaque accumulation. The study was conducted in three experimental and one control group with 30 examinees each. In the first experimental group were patients with partial acrylic dentures, in the second were patients with overdentures and in the third group were the patients with metal skeletal dentures. Dental plaque on the remaining teeth was measured by Silness-Loe modified method. Dental plaque scores were obtained at a time when dentures were given to patients and after 6 and 12 months of wearing, respectively. The plaque index of all teeth after 12 months of wearing dentures was relatively low in all three examined groups which resulted from previous education and motivation of examinees for oral hygiene maintenance. However, the highest risk of oral diseases caused by dental plaque is in patients with partial acrylic dentures, then in patients with overdentures, and best preventive effect was achieved in patients with metal skeletal dentures.
