Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the correlation of different problems that lead to the replacement of removable partial dentures (RPD). Material and Methods: The sample included 231 patients with an RPD [female (n=120) and male (n=111)], age range (22-74) years. We take general information including name, age, gender, level of education and chief complain. The chi-square test was used for the analysis of data where appropriate. P-values were considered statistically significant if they were less than 0.05. Results: The largest number of the female complain from pain and discomfort (n=35) while for male complain from lose or fracture of the denture (n=40). Regarding age, the largest number of patients complained of lose or fracture of the denture (n=51) for the age group range 40-57 years, while for the age group range (22-39) years complained of esthetic problems (n=27), and for group age range 58-75 years the most significant number complain from pain and discomfort (n=24). About education level, the highest percent was for not educated patient by (61%). The highest percentage was for lose or fracture of the denture (31.6%), and the lowest percentage was for functional problems (11.7%). There was a statistically significant association between the chief of complaint and the level of education (p=0.007). Conclusion: There is no correlation between gender and the decision to replace removable partial dentures. The age affects the patient's decision to replace removable partial dentures. However, the level of education has a significant effect on the replacement of removable partial dentures.
