Frequency and types of partially edentulous maxillary arches among the patients reporting at rakcods clinics

ABSTRACT

For the enhanced quality of life among the individuals or patients, oral hygiene is the most momentous approach. The general health status of the patients gets affected, if the oral health status is compromised, particularly in condition of tooth loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the types and frequency of partial tooth loss [Partially Edentulous] of the maxillary arches in the patients who reported at RAKCODS clinics. The study applied cross section approaches for gathering data and by using random approaches, total 450 patient's files were selected from the record. A proforma was used in order to collect data of the participants. Out of 450, 110 females and 340 males' files were used for this purpose. Results revealed that the tooth loss was most prevalent in the age group of 21-30 years. A considerable number of patients had gone through partially tooth loss and no modification was observed. The maxillary loss was not much common in comparison with the mandible loss. According to this study the occurrence of maxillary partially edentulous arches was higher among the age group of 21-31 years. This study was clinically relevant as it adds information that Kennedy's class 3 is the most common in the patients reported at the RAKCODS clinics, and mandibular tooth loss is more common than maxillary tooth loss
