RESUMO
The aim of this study was to investigate periodontal health status of teeth in contact with removable prosthesis.In this study a total of 500 patients were examined from June 2016 to June 2017. Out of those 500 patients 200 patients were identified who were treated with removable partial denture and were having 0 score for gingival, plaque and calculus index. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were recalled after 6 months to measure periodontal and gingival status of abutment teeth. Results show that removable partial dentures significantly affect health of abutment teeth. An increase in plaque gingival and calculus index is seen in abutment teeth along with the teeth being more prone to inflammation.Patients undergoing removable partial denture treatment must follow strict oral hygiene protocols, regular recall and follow up schedule for optimal treatment outcome
RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of fixation of anterior cruciate ligament avulsion injuries in Military Soldiers
Study Design: Descriptive case series
Place and Duration of Study: Orthopedic department, Combined Military Hospital [CMH] Rawalpindi, from Jun 2015 to Jun 2016
Material and Methods: Open reduction and screw fixation was done in 30 soldiers presenting with McKeever type III and IV avulsion fractures of anterior cruciate ligament. Outcome evaluation was carried out at 3 and 6 months. Lachman test was used for stability. Standard AP and Lateralx-rayswere taken to monitor bony healing. Lysholm score was used for functional evaluation
Results: All 30 patients showed complete healing at 3 months. Three patients revealed residual laxity. Mean extension loss was 5 degrees. Lysholm score improved from pre-operative mean of 29.97 [SD +/- 5.46] to postoperative mean of 95.67 [SD +/- 1.47]
Conclusion: This study demonstrated operative fixation of Grade III and IV anterior cruciate ligament avulsion injuries as a successful surgical option in Military soldiers
