Abstract:
ABSTRACT:
Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of partial edentulism, complete edentulism and
complete edentulous arch opposing the partial edentulous arches in relation to the various age groups and gender in
local population of Hyderabad.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Prosthodontic, Isra Dental
College, Hyderabad. Duration of the study was 6 months, from January 2016 to June, 2016. A total 504 patients were
selected for this study on the basis of history and clinical examination. The selected subjects were divided into six
age groups. Data was statistically analysed by SPSS statistics software version 21. Descriptive statistics such as
frequencies, percentages, mean and cross tabulation were applied to test the variables. The level of statistical significance
was set to 0.5%.
Results: The results showed that out of 504 selected subjects 426 (84.5%) subjects were partially edentulous, as
compared to completely edentulous patients who numbered only 66 (13.1%) whereas 7 (1.4%) subjects had complete
edentulous upper ridge and partially edentulous lower ridge, only 5 (1%) subjects had complete edentulous lower ridge
and partially edentulous upper ridge. Partially edentulous jaws were more prevalent in females and in middle aged
patients ranging from 31-40 years and completely edentulous jaws were more prevalent among male subjects in old
age subjects who were above 60 years of age. Single complete denture opposing partially edentulous ridges were more
common in females and in patients who were above 30 years of age.
Conclusion: This study concluded that the partially edentulous jaws were more prevalent as compared to completely
edentulous jaws. Partially edentulous jaws were more prevalent in females and in middle aged patients while completely
edentulous jaws were more prevalent among male subjects and in old age subjects of either age, whereas single
complete denture opposing partially edentulous ridges were more common in females and in patients who were above
30 years of age.
