Introduction: prosthetic rehabilitation is not only the mere repositioning of teeth, but also the integration of the family and society, enabling the elderly to create ideal foods, avoiding the loss of teeth.
Objective: to characterize patients with fixed partial dentures (FPP) in advanced age and the state of their dental prostheses, period January-December 2021, UNIANDES university.
Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was designed to study the characteristics of patients with fixed partial dentures (FPP) and the state of their dental prostheses, in the period January-December 2021, attended at the UNIANDES university. The universe consisted of 250 patients, the sample consisted of 196 patients, structured on the basis of inclusion, exclusion and sampling criteria. The data were obtained from the patients' medical records. For the univariate and bivariate descriptive analysis, the following statistical tests were used: Student's t-test, Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's exact test.
Results: the univariate descriptive analysis showed that, of the total number of fixed prosthesis abutments, 63,2 % were single crowns and 36,8 % were bridge abutments. According to their location: 26 % of PPF were in the anterosuperior zone, 45,2 % in the posterosuperior zone, 28 % posteroinferior and 0,8 % anteroinferior. According to gingival status, mild gingivitis was found in 45,1%, moderate gingivitis in 51,6 % and severe gingivitis in 3,2 %. Regarding plaque retention, we found: presence of plaque 49,6 % and absence of plaque 50,4 %. Absence of mobility was found in 90,3 % of the cases and presence of mobility in only 9,7 %.
Conclusions: The lost dental tissue should be replaced with a material that is biocompatible with the gingival tissues, does not allow plaque formation and does not contribute to gingival inflammation.
