Objective:
We aimed to investigate the nursing technique and outcomes of conical telescopic crown prosthodontics for patients with periodontitis accompanied by dental defects.
Methods:
One hundred patients with chronic periodontitis and dental problems from January 2018 to August 2020 were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to an observation group (n=50) and a control group (n=50). The control group received traditional nursing, whereas the observation group received comprehensive nursing. Comparisons were made between the indices related to chewing function and periodontal condition, inflammatory factors, quality-of-life score, and nursing satisfaction rate.
Results:
The masticatory efficiency and absorbance were greater in the observation group than in the control group following nursing (P<0.05). The observation group had lower levels of plaque index, debris index, sulcus bleeding index, and periodontal probing depth, as well as levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-6 (P<0.05). The quality-of-life score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Comprehensive nursing for conical telescopic crown prosthodontics can improve the chewing function and periodontal conditions of patients with periodontitis accompanied by dentition defects.
