Evaluation of the effects of age, gender, education and income levels on the tooth loss and prosthetic treatment
Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to
investigate the effects of age, gender, education
and income levels of the patients on their teeth
losses and prosthodontic needs.
Materials and Methods: This study was
performed on 615 patients who were referred to
the Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of
Dentistry, Cumhuriyet University. Age, gender,
education and income levels and teeth losses of
the patients were recorded. Furthermore,
prosthodontic treatments, removable partially
denture designs and the colors of the dentures
were noted. The data were analyzed with ChiSquare test (α=0,05).
Results: The most incidence of tooth loss was
seen in the molar region. Moreover, there was a
significant difference between education and
income levels and prosthodontic needs (p=0,001).
On the other hand, no significant difference was
found between gender and edentolousness
(p=0,381), and edentulousness and income level
(p=0,334). However, there was a significant
difference between education level and
edentulousness (p=0,005). In addition, full palatal
plaque (in the upper jaw) and lingual bar (in the
lower jaw) were the most used removable
partially denture designs. It was found that the
most preferred color in both removable and fixed
dentures was A2.
Conclusions: Improving knowledge level of
the patient about oral health should be required.
Thus, this enables decreasing tooth loss and high
ratio of the removable prosthodontic need.

Abstract
Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, hastaların protetik gereksinimlerini, yapılan tedavi planlamalarını ve yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu ve gelir düzeyi ilekayıp dişler ve protetik tedaviler arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız, Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Dişhekimliği Fakültesi Protetik Diş Tedavisi kliniğine başvuran 615 hasta üzerinde yapıldı. Yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim ve gelir düzeyi ve kaybedilen dişler kaydedildi. Ayrıca, yapılan protetik tedaviler, hareketli parsiyel protez planlamaları ve protezlerin renkleri not edildi. Elde edilen verilen Ki-Kare testi ile analiz edildi (α=0,05).Bulgular: En fazla diş eksikliği molar bölgede görüldü. Eğitim ve gelir düzeyi ile protetik tedavi gereksinimi arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p=0,001). Diğer taraftan, cinsiyet ve dişsizlik (p=0,381) ile gelir düzeyi ve dişsizlik (p=0,334) arasındaki farklar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmadı. Fakat, eğitim durumu ve dişsizlik arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p=0,005). Bununla birlikte, üst çene için, tam palatal plak, alt çene için ise lingual barın en sık tercih edilen ana bağlayıcı tipi olduğu görüldü. Ayrıca, hem hareketli hem de sabit protezlerde, en çok tercih edilen renk ise A2 olarak tespit edildi.Sonuç: Hastaların ağız-diş sağlığı konusunda bilgi düzeylerinin artırılması son derece önemlidir. Bu sayede, diş kayıplarını ve yüksek orandaki protez gereksinimini azaltma imkanı olabilir
