Patologías bucodentales en pacientes portadores de prótesis removibles totales y parciales, Clínica Odontológica UCSG semestre B - 2019.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Oral pathologies are frequent lesions in patients with prostheses. Among the most common are candida oral, traumatic ulcerations, prosthetic stomatitis, cracked epulis, among others. Among the predisposing factors of these pathologies are poor oral hygiene, mechanical trauma, incorrect occlusal relationships, prolonged use of the prosthesis and aged tissues. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between the use of a removable prosthesis and the prevalence of oral diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study, with a sample of 65 patients in the Partial and Total Prosthesis Clinic of Semester B-2019. The prevalence of oral diseases, oral hygiene by fuchsin and the speed of salivary flow were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 2019, on a descriptive basis. RESULTS: It was determined in graph 1, 64.62% were female gender and 35.38% male gender, in graphic 2, 52.31% who had prosthetic stomatitis, 15.38% had traumatic ulcers, 7.69% had oral candidiasis and no obtained patients with fissured epulis in the sample. Graph 3, we analyzed the type of prosthesis support and prevalence of pathologies where the dentosoportadas presented pathologies in 36.73%, dentomucosoportada in 34.69% and mucosoportada in 28.57%. Graph 4, 0% presented high salivary flow, 32.65% normal, 51.02% low flow and 16.33% very low flow. Figure 5, 32.65% used prostheses less than 5 years, 67.35% more than 5 years. Finally, figure 6, 8.16% obtained an optimal state of oral hygiene, 51.02% regular, 36.73% poor oral status and 4.08% very bad. CONCLUSION: The most prevalent oral disease in patients with partial and total prostheses was prosthetic stomatitis.
