Systemic diseases and medications increase the number of dental recall visits for complete denture patients. Central nervous system, psychiatric, and cardiovascular conditions requiring diuretics were associated with more frequent follow-ups.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Gerodontology

Background:

  • Complete dentures are essential for patients with tooth loss.
  • Systemic health and medications can influence oral health and treatment outcomes.
  • Post-insertion care is crucial for successful denture adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of systemic diseases and medications on post-insertion visits for new complete dentures.
  • To identify patient factors associated with increased recall frequency in prosthodontic care.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 157 patients receiving new complete dentures.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, systemic conditions, and medications.
  • Correlation analysis between patient characteristics and the number of recall visits.

Main Results:

  • Recall visit frequency increased with patient age.
  • Medication for central nervous system or psychiatric disorders was linked to more visits.
  • Cardiovascular diseases treated with diuretics showed a further increase in recall visits.

Conclusions:

  • Patient age, systemic diseases, and specific medications significantly affect the need for post-insertion denture care.
  • Prosthodontic treatment planning should consider patients' overall health status.
  • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these associations.
