Tissue response to overdenture therapy.

A H Fenton, N Hahn

    The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
    |November 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Overdenture treatment showed no significant differences in tooth health compared to controls, but patients not using fluoride experienced high caries rates. Long-term studies confirmed clinically acceptable plaque and gingival health.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Prosthetics
    • Periodontology
    • Cariology

    Background:

    • Overdentures offer a tooth-retaining prosthetic solution.
    • Assessing long-term tissue response and tooth health is crucial for treatment success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the tissue response and health of teeth retained for overdenture treatment.
    • To compare overlaid teeth with control teeth over time.
    • To identify factors influencing treatment outcomes, such as fluoride use.

    Main Methods:

    • Recall of patients treated with overdentures under uniform standards.
    • Simultaneous and independent evaluation of tissue response by two examiners using various indices.
    • Comparative data analysis between overlaid and control teeth, and over time.

    Main Results:

    • High incidence of caries observed in patients not applying fluoride to retained tooth roots.
    • No significant differences in the health of overlaid teeth compared to control teeth.
    • Significant patient variation in maintaining plaque levels and tissue health, yet overall clinically acceptable standards were maintained over 2 years.

    Conclusions:

    • Fluoride application is critical for preventing caries in retained tooth roots under overdentures.
    • Overdenture treatment itself does not negatively impact the health of retained teeth.
    • Patient-specific factors influence oral hygiene, but long-term outcomes can be clinically acceptable with proper management.
