CLINICAL-STATISTICAL STUDY CONCERNING THE PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION OF EXTENDED PARTIAL EDENTATION
Abstract:
Extended partial edentation represents an illness with a high incidence rate in the population,
motivating the interest for the study of functional and aesthetic rehabilitation by using different
therapeutic methods. Purpose of the study: Evaluation of extended partial edentation in terms of
etiology, multiple complications and therapeutic alternatives. Study material and method: A clinical
statistical study was performed on a sample of 60 patients of both genders, aged between 30 and 70
years old, who presented different types of partial edentation, restored or not. The objectives were to:
determine the most frequent cause of edentation, choose the best restoration according to the particular
clinical situation, re-establish the function of the dental apparatus, and to determine the patients’
acceptance of the prosthetic treatment. Results. The results concerning the frequency of the extended
partial edentation depending on certain parameters were presented using diagrams. Finally, the
relevant conclusions are presented. The extended partial edentation is very common and it has a
complex etiology, as well as complications that can determine the significant loss of life’s quality.
Conclusions. The high incidence of extended partial edentation motivates our interest in the study of
functional and esthetic rehabilitation using dental implants. We identified as the major etiological factor
of edentation, the chronic gum disease followed in order of influence by: incorrect prosthetic
restorations, root destruction and massive coronary debris, tooth decays.
