The periodontal status of 14 regular dental attenders who had been wearing removable partial dentures was compared with a matched group of non-denture wearers. Most partial dentures were mucosally supported. Reported plaque control practices, levels of plaque, subgingival calculus and gingival bleeding, mean pocket depth and mean loss of periodontal attachment were similar in both groups. Severe destructive periodontal disease was present in five (36%) of the denture wearers compared with seven (50%) of the non-denture wearers. We conclude that regular dental attenders with partial dentures were no more likely to have poorer periodontal health than comparable non-denture wearers.
将14名佩戴可摘局部义齿的定期看牙者的牙周状况与一组匹配的未佩戴义齿者进行了比较。大多数局部义齿由黏膜支持。两组在报告的菌斑控制措施、菌斑水平、龈下牙石和牙龈出血情况、平均牙周袋深度以及平均牙周附着丧失方面相似。佩戴义齿者中有5人(36%)患有严重的破坏性牙周疾病,未佩戴义齿者中有7人(50%)患有该疾病。我们得出结论,佩戴局部义齿的定期看牙者与未佩戴义齿的同龄人相比,牙周健康状况较差的可能性并不更高。
