Remodeling Pattern of Mandibular Ridge in Adult Edentulous Population: A Case Control Study
Abstract
Objective: The study is to evaluate the impact of systemic diseases on the remodeling pattern of mandibular ridge in adult edentulous patients.
Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted at the Department of Prosthodontics, Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine, Karachi for a period of six months. A total of 145 patients with edentulous mandibular arch were recruited according to specific criteria; those patients having the systemic disease were included in the case group and patients without morbid illnesses were included in the control group. Data was collected using a well-structured and validated proforma. SPSS-25 was used for statistical analysis. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The most common ridge form among the case group was depressed while low well-rounded was prevalent in the control group. Although no significant difference (p=0.301) was found. Moreover, a statistically significant difference was found between mandibular ridge form with a period of edentulism (p <0.001) as well as the duration of previous dentures (p <0.001). There was no significant difference in terms of ridge pattern and resorption between the study and control groups (Chi square-test: p=0.301).
Conclusion: Considering the methodologies implemented and statistical analysis of the data produced, it is reasonable to conclude that the most prevalent ridge form in the control group (patients without any systemic disease) was found to be low well rounded, though depressed form was the most prevalent one in the case group (patients with systemic disease).
