A group of destructive changes occurring in jaws in patients with maxillary complete dentures and mandibular removable partial dentures (bilaterally) has been described in the literature as the combination syndrome. However, this condition is not clinically observed in all patients. The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence index on signs of combination syndrome and to verify whether these changes also occurred in patients rehabilitated with a mandibular removable partial denture (unilaterally). Sample was composed of 44 patients, completely edentulous in the maxilla. Thirty-two patients had a Kennedy Class I removable partial denture and 12 a Kennedy Class II. Three major alterations were observed in 20.5% of the studied population. Nevertheless, these changes were present only in 25% of patients with Kennedy Class I removable partial denture. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that patients with Kennedy Class II removable partial denture do not have similar signs that lead to the combination syndrome's condition.
文献中已将在上颌全口义齿和下颌双侧可摘局部义齿患者的颌骨中发生的一组破坏性变化描述为联合综合征。然而，并非所有患者在临床上都观察到这种情况。本研究的目的是建立联合综合征体征的患病率指数，并验证这些变化是否也发生在下颌单侧可摘局部义齿修复的患者中。样本由44名上颌完全无牙的患者组成。32名患者佩戴肯尼迪I类可摘局部义齿，12名患者佩戴肯尼迪II类可摘局部义齿。在20.5%的研究人群中观察到三种主要改变。然而，这些变化仅出现在25%佩戴肯尼迪I类可摘局部义齿的患者中。基于本研究的结果，可以得出结论，佩戴肯尼迪II类可摘局部义齿的患者没有导致联合综合征情况的类似体征。
