Edentulism and prosthodontic care are very common, especially in the elderly. The study investigated the treatment with complete dentures (CDs) and acrylic removable partial dentures (ARPDs) among people receiving new prosthodontic treatment in the Primary Health Centres of the three regions in Kosovo from 2002 to 2013.
The data on ARPDs delivery and CDs delivery was obtained from the archives of primary health centres from three Kosovo regions (Prizren, Peje, Ferizaj) from 2002 to 2013. The data was analysed concerning year of treatment, type of dentures, jaw, age, gender and urban or rural origin of the patients. The trend of treatment was determined, and the binomial logistic regression model was used for predicting odds of ARPD versus CD treatment by year of treatment and patient characteristics.
From 2002 to 2013, 9,478 patients received 11,655 CDs and 4,401 ARPDs. Delivery of CDs significantly increased by 57.45 dentures per year (R2=0.609) and delivery of ARPDs by 30.39 dentures per year (R2=0.569). Each year the odds for ARPD versus CD increased by 4.2% (95% CI: 3.0%-5.4%). Younger patients have higher odds for ARPD rather than CD and odds for ARPD are decreasing as the age of patients rises. The gender, residence, and jaw all had a significant impact on prosthodontic treatment too.
In Primary Health Centres of Kosovo, there is a trend for higher frequencies of both dentures (more obvious for ARPD), and the frequency is highly dependent on the age of patients.
无牙颌和义齿修复治疗非常普遍，尤其是在老年人中。本研究调查了2002年至2013年期间科索沃三个地区初级卫生保健中心接受新义齿修复治疗的患者中，全口义齿（CDs）和丙烯酸可摘局部义齿（ARPDs）的治疗情况。
从科索沃三个地区（普里兹伦、佩耶、费里扎伊）初级卫生保健中心2002年至2013年的档案中获取ARPDs和CDs交付的数据。对数据进行了分析，涉及治疗年份、义齿类型、颌骨、年龄、性别以及患者的城乡来源。确定了治疗趋势，并使用二项逻辑回归模型根据治疗年份和患者特征预测ARPD与CD治疗的几率。
2002年至2013年，9478名患者接受了11655副全口义齿和4401副可摘局部义齿。全口义齿的交付量每年显著增加57.45副（R2 = 0.609），可摘局部义齿的交付量每年增加30.39副（R2 = 0.569）。每年ARPD与CD相比的几率增加4.2%（95%置信区间：3.0% - 5.4%）。年轻患者接受ARPD而非CD的几率更高，并且随着患者年龄的增加，ARPD的几率在降低。性别、居住地和颌骨对义齿修复治疗也都有显著影响。
在科索沃的初级卫生保健中心，两种义齿（ARPD更明显）的使用频率都有上升趋势，且频率高度依赖于患者年龄。
