ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the abutment periodontium condition after restored with the distal-extension extracoronal attachment dentures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>20 mandibular distal-extension cases were followed up, to measure the gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PLI) of the distant-abutments before restored with attachment dentures and after restored for one month, six months and one year; to compare the length of distant alveolar bone before restored with that after restored one year by taking digital stomatology tomogram photos.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were not significantly different in the PLI of distant-abutment between before repaired and after repaired one month, six months, one year (P > 0.05). There were not significantly different in the GI of distant-abutment between before repaired and after repaired one month, six months (P > 0.05), but the GI of distant-abutment after repaired one year was significantly higher than that before repaired (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences on the length of distant alveolar bone in distant-abutment before repaired and after repaired one year(P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>It is important to protect the periodontal health of the abutment when restored with distal-extension extracoronal attachment dentures. It is necessary to examine periodically after restored in order to keep the periodontal health of the abutment.</p>
