Keywords:
Dental prosthesis, Mouth mucosa/pathology.Abstract
Introduction: Lesions in the oral mucosa associated with the use of prosthesis constitute a considerable health problem, especially in geriatric patients.Objective: to characterize the oral lesions in geriatric patients prosthetically rehabilitated.
Material and methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study was performed in the neighborhood medical offices # 9 and 47 belonging to Hermanos Saíz Dentistry Clinic of San Juan y Martinez Municipality (Pinar del Río), from September 2012 to September 2013. The target group comprised 165 patient prosthetically rehabilitated, out of which 98 made up the sample, for presenting oral lesions resulting from the use of prostheses. As summarizing measurements the absolute number and the percentage were used.
Results: the greatest numbers of patients were in the age group of 65-69 years. The most affected sex was the female, while lesions were found mainly to the maxillary bone and in patients who use complete acrylic dentures. The patients who presented bad dentures hygienic habits were more prone to present oral lesions. The greatest number of lesions was found in not-smoking patients.
Conclusions: the oral lesions were characterized in geriatric patients prosthetically rehabilitated, which makes possible to propose new research on factor associated with the origin and natural history of these lesions caused by the use of dentures, and thus to keep on communication with the involved people in providing care to the aged.
