Profil des édentements partiels selon la classification de Kennedy-Applegate dans une structure de soins dentaires de Lomé (Togo) / Profile of partial edentulism according to the Kennedy-Applegate classification in a dental care structure in Lome (Togo)

Introduction. La documentation des édentements partiels est un indicateur de l'état buccodentaire et permet d'évaluer les besoins en soins prothétiques. L'objectif de ce travail était de décrire le profil des édentements partiels selon la classification de Kennedy-Applegate dans une structure de soins dentaires. Matériels et méthodes. Il Une étude transversale descriptive a été réalisée durant 3 mois dans le service d'odonto-stomatologie et de chirurgie maxillo-faciale du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sylvanus Olympio (CHU-SO) de Lomé (Togo). Les données sociodémographiques et cliniques des patients inclus ont été recueillies et analysées grâce au logiciel Jamovi® version 2.2.5. Résultats. L'échantillon comportait 82 sujets dont 50% de femmes. L'âge moyen était de 47,4 ± 15,1ans. Les édentements de classe III de Kennedy prédominaient avec 75,2% des arcades édentées. Les édentements de classe III étaient retrouvés à 82,1% dans la tranche d'âge 19-40 ans, les 61 ans et plus comptaient 20% des classes I et 24% des classes II. L'édentement était significativement associé à l'âge (p=0,046). Conclusion. Il apparait que la classe III de Kennedy est globalement la plus fréquente des édentements partiels et que l'étendue édentement augmenterait avec l'âge

Introduction. Documentation of partial edentulism is an indicator of oral health status and enables prosthetic care needs to be assessed. The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of partial edentulism according to the Kennedy-Applegate classification in a dental care facility. Materials and methods. This A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over a 3-month period in the Odonto-stomatology and maxillofacial surgery department of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sylvanus Olympio (CHU-SO) in Lomé (Togo). The sociodemographic and clinical data of the included patients were collected and analysed using Jamovi® version 2.2.5 software. Results. The sample included 82 subjects, 50% of whom were women. The average age was 47.4 ± 15.1 years. Kennedy class III edentulism predominated with 75.2% of edentulousness arches. Class III edentulous was found at 82.1% in the 19-40 years age group, those aged 61 years and over had 20% of class I and 24% of class II. Edentulism was significantly associated with age (p=0.046). Conclusion. It appears that Kennedy class III is globally the most frequent of partial edentulism and that the extent of edentulism would increase with age.

Implant prosthesis design scheme for sophisticated congenital partial edentia / 华西口腔医学杂志

Sophisticated congenital partial edentia are often accompanied by severe shortage of bone height and width due to the absence of permanent teeth; such condition will affect implant placement. This study aimed to display the different typical implant rehabilitation schemes we designed for sophisticated congenital partial edentia cases with severely atrophic alveolar bone.

A case of full mouth rehabilitation in patient with loss of vertical dimension and deep bite due to tooth wear / 대한치과보철학회지

The collapse of the posterior occlusion destroys the normal occlusal plane and causes excessive wear reducing the vertical dimension. Reduced vertical dimension of occlusion causes not only aesthetic and functional problems but also overloading on the temporomandibular joints and abnormalities of muscle nerve system. In order to improve the collapsed occlusal relationship, it is necessary to consider the change of the vertical dimension. It is necessary to make a precise diagnosis and analysis before the treatment and to evaluate the adaption of patient to the new vertical dimension of occlusion. A patient with excessive overbite often has occlusal problems of tooth wear and tooth eruption. Considering these considerations, overall prosthodontic restoration is required to solve the problem. A patient of 68 year old man in this case who suffered major tooth wear and maxillary posterior teeth loss was treated with elevation of vertical dimension of occlusion by maxillary removable dental prosthesis and mandibular fixed prosthesis.

Full-mouth rehabilitation of partial edentulism in a deep bite patient / 대한치과보철학회지

Deep overbite patients who do not have proper occlusal relationship may cause problems such as teeth wear and antagonist extrusion. These lead to the collapse of occlusal plane and esthetic problem. Increasing vertical dimension is frequently essential to resolve those problems. This case report demonstrates a full-mouth rehabilitation for a patient with severe deep bite that contacts surface to surface by increasing vertical dimension. Treatment procedures included diagnosis, treatment planning, implant surgery, and prosthodontic rehabilitation. Satisfactory results were obtained in functional and esthetic aspects.

Full mouth rehabilitation utilizing implant-assisted removable partial denture with a canted occlusal plane: a case report

Implant-assisted removable partial denture (Implant-assisted RPD, IARPD), posterior edentulous extension areas of which obtains additional support and retention from implants, is attracting increasing interest. This case report presents a successful treatment on a partially edentulous patient with a severely canted occlusal plane resulted from a long-term use of posterior extended RPD. The full mouth was rehabilitated through a fixed prosthesis on maxilla and IARPD with zirconia occlusal surface on mandible, which allowed to achieve an esthetic occlusal plane with long-term stability and, ultimately, functionally satisfying outcome.

Association between socio-demographic variables and partial edentulism in the Goan population: An epidemiological study in India.

Context: Although, incidence of complete edentulism has decreased, partial edentulism is still prevalent in the country. This study aims to establish a relationship between socio-demographic variables, etiological factors, and partial edentulism. It also evaluates the prevalence of different classes of partial edentulism according to Kennedy’s classification. Materials and Methods: An institution-based, cross-sectional study was conducted on a randomly selected population in the state of Goa, India. The study group included patients who attended the Outpatient Department (OPD) of Prosthodontics during September to October, 2009. Data were acquired based on a pre-formed pro-forma (inclusive of a structured questionnaire and clinical examination) and was statistically analysed using the chi-square test. Results: A total of 423 participants were enrolled for this study. Three hundred and twentytwo individuals were partially edentulous indicating a prevalence rate of 76.12%. 54.97% were females. The peak was recorded in the age group of 24-34 years, 51.24% were un-employed, 54.97% belonged to the medium income group, 58.07% resided in urban areas, 48.45% belonged to the basic educational group and 54.35% had a fair oral hygiene status. Kennedy’s class III group (50.30%) was the most frequent type of partial edentulism. An association between the aforementioned characteristics and partial edentulism was recorded with a statistically significant association between partial edentulism and two characteristics, namely monthly family income and education. Conclusion: Partial edentulism is dependent on a combination of socio-demographic factors and the present study reveals a high prevalence rate of partial edentulism in the studied population.
