Abstract:

The aim of this study is to determine the frequency and types of oral mucous lesions (POMLs) associated with the prothesis in patients using active prothesis; the relationship between age, gender, educational status, the presence of systemic disease, smoking, the type of prothesis, night use of prothesis and oral hygiene and POML. Method and Requirements: Our research consists of two stages: survey and clinical examination. In the survey form, the patient’s age, gender, the presence of systemic disease, the level of training, smoking, the frequency of the visit to the dentist, the habit of night use of the prothesis, the habit of daily care of the prothesis and the time of use of the prothesis were recorded. In the clinical examination the presence of POML (epulis fissuratum, protez stomatitis, non-mesnetic cretus, traumatic fibrom, psodomembranous candidiasis, angular shelitis, friction keratosis, traumatic ulcer) and localization were recorded. Identifying statistics for all the parameters in the study are calculated. For the determination of the inter-category variables relationships, the ki-core test was used and considered meaningful at the level p<0,05. The average age of 133 individuals involved in the study is 62.41 (41-88) years. POML was detected in 95 of the 227 evaluated parts of the prothesis area (41.8%). The most frequently observed POML in patients is stomatitis (50,5%). A statistically meaningful relationship between the duration of the use of the prothesis, the frequency of the cleaning of the prothesis, the night use of the prothesis and the smoking habit and the POML has been established (p<0,05). The level of training, the presence of systemic disease, the type and localization of the proteins, the cleaning agent of the proteins and the POML have not been associated (p>0,05). RELATED and RESULTATED: Regulation of the daily duration of use of proteins and reduction of developing oral lesions associated with proteins with routine oral hygiene habits can be achieved.
