Incidence of Partial Edentulism at the Egas Moniz Dental Clinic
Objectives: Evaluate the prevalence of parcial edentulism among a goup of patients of the Egas Moniz Dental Clinic, according to Kennedy classification, age, gender, and prosthodontic treatment.
Methods: All clinical charts (240) of the prosthodontic clinic between September 2014 and June 2015 were evaluated and characterized by: age, sex, Kennedy classification and type of rehabilitation concluded. A descriptive statistical analysis with crosstabs procedures was applied to check frequencies using the SPSS Statistics 20.0 software
Results: 73 records with fabricated removable partial dentures (RPD) were selected . A total of 95 RPD were delivered. Average age was 59. Women was the largest gender (68.4%) and younger. Kennedy’s class III the most common (43 %) while class IV the most uncomon (3,2%). There was a higher incidence in the mandibular arch (52,6%). Cobalt chrome alloy(Cr-Co) was the most prevalent infrastructure (55,8%) and most used on Kennedy class III patients. The number of teeth replaced by acrylics was higher than Cr-Co regardless of gender.
Conclusions: Kennedy class III and metal framework RDP are the most frequent. Average number of teeth replaced by acrylics was higher regardless of gender. Most of edentulous arches are in the mandible.
