OBJECTIVES:
Periodontitis is a severe gum infection that can lead to loss of tooth and other health problems. The present study attempts to evaluate the association of periodontitis with removable partial denture.
METHODOLOGY:
A total of 100 subjects visiting the dental department of DHQ hospital Buner, consisting of 65 males and 35 females with age range of 30-60 years having periodontitis were investigated.
RESULTS:
The subjects wearing removable partial dentures showed increased prevalence of periodontitis irrespective of age and sex. Lack of awareness and socioeconomic status of the study population were the main contributing factors.
CONCLUSION:
The study concludes a strong association of periodontitis and removable partial dentures. Proper and regular maintenance of the oral and denture hygiene can prevent periodontal diseases.
