| Abstract | Cilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati kolika je prosječna trajnost mobilnih proteza u našoj populaciji i doznati koji su najčešći razlozi zamjene istih.
Materijali i metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 100 pacijenata s područja grada Splita i okolice, dobi između 49 i 86 godina, od čega 61 žena i 39 muškaraca. Prilikom dolaska po novu protezu pacijenti su popunjavali upitnik s podacima vezanim za svoje stare proteze. Upitnik se sastojao od devet pitanja o dobi, spolu, materijalu od koje je izrađena protezna baza, vrsti proteze, čeljusti u kojoj se proteza nalazi, starosti proteze, ordinaciji i gradu u kojoj je izrađena te razlogu zamjene.
Rezultati: Rezultati su pokazali da nema statističke povezanosti između uporabne trajnosti proteza i činjenice da su izrađene od strane specijalista protetike. Trajnost proteza izrađenih u specijaliste stomatološke protetike bila je prosječno 8,9 ± 5,6 godina, a onih izrađenih u općeg stomatologa prosječno 9,25 ± 4,4 godine, što nije bilo statistički značajno (P = 0,732). Trajnost akrilatnih protetskih nadomjestaka bila je statistički značajno duža u odnosu na prosječnu trajnost metalnih protetskih nadomjestaka (10,4 ± 6,2 godine vs. 8,1 ± 3,9 godina, P = 0,032). Najčešći razlog zamjene djelomičnih proteza bio je izvađen zub (27,4 %), a potpunih nestabilnost (44,9 %).
Zaključak: Temeljem rezultata ovog istraživanja može se zaključiti da su mobilni protetski nadomjesci s metalnom bazom trajniji od onih s akrilatnom bazom, a mobilni protetski nadomjesci koje je izradio specijalist stomatološke protetike nisu trajniji su od onih izrađenih od strane općeg doktora dentalne medicine. Najčešći razlog zamjene mobilnih protetskih nadomjestaka je nestabilnost. |
| Abstract (english) | Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the average durability of removable prosthetic dentures in our population and find out what are the most common reasons for replacing them.
Material and Methods: The study included 100 patients from Split and surrounding area between 49 and 86 years old, of which 61 women and 39 men. During the examination or the impression taking, patients completed a questionnaire related to their old dentures. Data were divided into 9 categories according to age, sex, prosthesis material, prosthesis type, jaw in which the prosthesis was located, age of prosthesis, a dental office where the old denture was made, the city where it was made, and the reason of the replacement.
Results: The results showed there was no statistical difference between durability of prosthetic dentures and the fact that they were made by a specialist of prosthetic dentistry. Durability of removable dentures made by the specialist of prosthetic dentistry was average 8.9 ± 5.6 years, and those dentures made by the general dentist 9.25 ± 4.4 years, which was not statistically significant (P = 0.732). The durability of acrylic removable dentures was significantly longer than of metal removable dentures (10.4 ± 6.2 years vs. 8.1 ± 3.9 years, P = 0.032). The main reason for the replacement of old partial removable dentures was tooth extraction (27.4 %), while the reason for the replacement of old total removable dentures was instability (44.9 %).
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study we can conclude that metal removable prosthetic dentures have longer durability than those with acrylic base, while removable prosthetic dentures made by the specialist did not show longer durability than those made by the general dentist. The most frequent reason for the replacement of the denture was instability. |
