The purpose of this survey was to examine the overview of maxillofacial prosthetic treatment at our department, in order to ascertain the actual status of patients and discuss future needs.
Subjects were all patients who visited Clinic for Maxillofacial Prosthetics, Dental Hospital, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) in the period from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2014. Using medical records of the Clinic for Maxillofacial Prosthetics, Dental Hospital, TMDU, patients' data including sex, address, referring institution, and primary condition were analyzed throughout the period.
The number of patients over 35 years was 6219, with a man-to-woman ratio of 6:4. The number of patients in their 60s, 70s, and 80s showed an increasing trend. Patients with tumors accounted for about 50 % of cases in 1980-1984 and increased to 80 % in 2010-2014.
The survey showed an increasing number of elderly patients and patients with tumors. This suggests that more awareness and education about maxillofacial prosthetics are needed.
本调查旨在审视我院颌面赝复体治疗的概况，以明确患者的实际状况并探讨未来需求。
本研究对象为 1980 年 1 月 1 日至 2014 年 12 月 31 日期间曾在东京医科齿科大学附属口腔医院颌面赝复体治疗科就诊的所有患者。我们使用该院颌面赝复体治疗科的病历资料，对患者的性别、住址、就诊机构及主要病症等数据进行了整个时期的分析。
35 岁以上患者共 6219 例，男女比为 6:4。60 岁、70 岁和 80 岁以上患者的数量呈上升趋势。1980-1984 年肿瘤患者占比约 50%，2010-2014 年则增至 80%。
调查显示老年患者和肿瘤患者数量不断增加。这表明需要提高人们对颌面赝复体的认识并加强相关教育。
