Abstract

Purpose: With the increase of the average life span and the quality of life, the expectations of the individuals for long term use of dentures have been increased. The aim of this study was to compare the patient complaints and the clinical findings among the population who are using complete dentures.Material and Method: 42 patients, whose ages were varying between 55 to 77, that applied to Gulhane Military Medical Academy with the desire of new dentures, were included into this study. Intraoral clinical examinations were done and the patient records were filled in into special forms. The evaluation forms included patients’ dental history, the reason they want to change their prosthesis and the results of the clinical examination findings. Results: The data was evaluated with t-test, Yates corrected square, Fisher’s exact test and the logistic regression analyses method within the independent groups. The time period that patients used their existing dentures were altering between 1-25 years. 35.7 % of patients claimed that throughout the use of their dentures they had to see their dentist at least once for relining or repair purposes. 28 of the patients (66.7 %) had the expectations of both acceptable esthetics and the adequate function collectively. Conclusion: In this study, the correlation between the patient complaints and the clinical findings were evaluated. It was concluded that the relationship between the variations, like personality, expectations, the time period that the dentures have been used and the number of the new dentures fabricated, showed variations.

Özet

Amaç: Ortalama yaşam ömrünün uzaması, yaşam kalitesinin artması ile bireylerin uzun dönem protez kullanımlarından beklentilerini de arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada tam protez kullanan bireylerde, protez kullanımındaki yakınmalar ile klinik bulgular arasındaki ilişkilerin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmaktadır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Gülhane Askeri Tıp Akademisi Diş Sağlığı Merkezine yeni protez yaptırma isteği ile başvuran ve yaşları 55-77 arasında değişen 42 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların ağız içi muayeneleri yapılıp hasta bilgilerini içeren formlar dolduruldu. Değerlendirme formu hastaların dental hikayeleri, protezlerini neden değiştirmek istedikleri ve klinik muayene sonuçlarını kapsamaktaydı. Bulgular: Elde edilen veriler bağımsız gruplarda t-testi, yates düzeltmeli ki-kare, Fisher testi ve lojistik regresyon analiz yöntemi ile değerlendirildi. Hastaların mevcut protezlerini kullanma süreli 1-25 yıl arasında değişkenlik gösterirken, hastaların %35.7’si protezlerini kullandıkları dönem içerisinde besleme, çatlak ya da herhangi bir tamir nedeniyle en az bir kere hekimlerine başvurdukları görüldü. Hastaların 28’i (% 66.7) estetik ve fonksiyonun bir arada olması beklentisi içerisindeydi. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada hasta yakınmaları ile klinik bulgular arasındaki ilişkiler değerlendirildi ve kişilik, beklenti, kullanım süresi, protez sayıları gibi parametreler arasında değişkenlik izlendi.
