Gingival clinical characteristics of patients with fixed prosthesis treated in a teaching dental clinic. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.1, pp.12-17. ISSN 1019-4355.

Objective: Identify the clinical gingival characteristics of carriers tooth fixed prostheses of patients attending at the Teaching Dental Clinic (UPCH) in 2012. Methods: A retrospective design was conducted with a universe of clinical records of patients with fixed prosthesis. Results: Of the 196 clinical histories evaluated, we found: 250 fixed prostheses, which consisted of 339 pillars of fixed prostheses between types: single crowns (63.2%) and bridge abutments (36.8%). Higher prevalence of male patients (53.06%) gender was found, with an average age of 42.61 years. In univariate descriptive analysis highest prevalence was found in the posterior parts (45.2%), moderate gingival status (51.6%), absence of plaque retention (50.4%), absence of tooth mobility (90.3 %) and poor condition of fixed prostheses (71.7%). In bivariate analysis, statistically significant relationship (p <0.05) between the variables type of prosthesis-plaque-retaining, type of prosthesis-mobility, state prosthesis-gingival index and state prosthesis-plaque-retaining was found; on the other hand was no relationship between the variables type of prosthesis-gingival index and gender-gingival index was found. Conclusions: There is a relationship between periodontal status and the presence of fixed prosthesis, which is expressed through the high prevalence of moderate gingivitis and plaque retention presence of abutment teeth for fixed prosthesis.
