Functional Comparative Evaluation of a Complete Removable Plate Prosthesis Made by An Improved Method.

Abstract

Objectives: Comparative evaluation of the functionality of complete removable plate prothesis made by our traditional and improved method during the orthopaedic treatment of secondary complete adentia.

Subjects and methods 211 patients between 45-59 years of age who applied for orthopaedic treatment of secondary complete adentia with complete removable plate prosthesis were involved in the study. With the object of the study, the functionality of prosthesis was studied in two groups depending on the dental status. A control group applied a well-known conventional method to prepare a complete removable plate prosthesis, while the main group applied our improved method. The M.D.Korol classification was used as a clinical criterion in evaluating the functionality of complete removable plate prosthesis made by our conventional and improved methods.

Results

   Unlike the traditional method, the pressure applied to the functional dimension in the improved method corresponds to the functional pressure made by the patient on the prosthesis during its use. Therefore, during various functions the fixation and stabilization of the prosthesis is not affected, it does not get a traumatic effect and is not corrected.

Conclusions.

1.The fabrication of complete removable plate prothesis with an improved method under functional measurements during secondary complete adentia consists of 4 clinical and 3 laboratory stages. There is no additional time loss for the physician and patient compared to the conventional method.

1. The functional measurement obtained with the improved method is not pressured by the physician, but by the patient himself. This pressure corresponds to the pressure exerted by the patient on the prosthesis during its use.

Clinical Significance.

Preparation of CRPP is the main orthopaedic treatment method of SCA. The conventional method consists of 5 clinical and 4 laboratory stages. The improvement of the conventional method consists of 4 clinical and 3 laboratory stages. There is no additional time loss for the physician and the patient and the prepared prosthesis is more functional.
