| Summary: | Introduction: Dental caries is one of the most common oral health
conditions affecting 60-90% of the population. The progression
of dental caries results in tooth loss if not treated properly. Tooth
loss will presumably cause functional impairment which might
ultimately affect the quality of life. Removable partial denture is
one of the most widely accepted means of tooth replacement.
It had been noticed that removable partial dentures increased
the likelihood of new or recurrent caries on remaining adjacent
natural teeth. Diabetes mellitus is the most routinely encountered
disease among various systemic diseases. Studies revealed
that dental caries has been more prevalent and even severe in
diabetic patients than nondiabetics.
Aim: To assess the effect of Acrylic Removable Partial Dentures
(RPD) and diabetes in prevalence of dental caries.
Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in
JSSDCH, JSSAHER, Mysuru, Karnataka in the year July 2017.
The duration of conducting literature search was from
July 2017 to Dec 2019. Individuals participating in the study
should be partially edentulous and aged between 18-64 years
either diabetic or nondiabetic. 69 articles were identified
from searching electronic data base (Pubmed, Cochrane,
Google scholar) and manual searching from July 2017 to
December 2019. 19 articles were excluded following an initial
screening. 50 articles were included for the further review.
Scientific evidence supporting the hypothesis of the study
10 articles where five articles were review and five articles
were original research. The main outcome of intervention
involved both methodology and assessment tools applied by
investigator to assess the effect of RPD and diabetes in terms
of prevalence of dental caries.
Results: Studies had shown that RPD wearers shows high
caries prevalence as compared to nonwearers, Diabetic patients
reported high caries prevalence compared to nondiabetic
patients. This literature review states that RPD and Diabetes
had an impact on prevalence of dental caries.
Conclusion: The conclusion from this present review would
indicates that good metabolic control in diabetic patients,
periodic monitoring of the removable partial denture, oral
hygiene, good RPD design framework, following post-insertion
instruction of the RPD, following regular recall visits contributes
towards prevention of plaque favouring inhibition of caries
prevalence among diabetic and nondiabetic patients wearing
RPD. |
