PENGARUH ANATOMI STRUKTUR PENDUKUNG GIGI TIRUAN PENUH RAHANG BAWAH TERHADAP RETENSI DAN STABILISASI

Abstract

Complete edentulous is a condition which a person loses all of his or her natural teeth. The treatment is done by making a complete denture ( CD ). The parameter of successful treatment is dependent on its use. P atien t’s ability to adapt to new CDs is often becomes the problem . If it ’ s not solved properly, it will impact the oral health and quality of life of the patient s , so post- treatment evaluation and control are important . One problem that is widely complained is the retention and stabili ty of lower CD . According to previous studies, the patient's adaptation to CD is related to the condition of dentures, which is a combination of CD’s quality and characteristics of alveolar ridge s , so the difference between dentist's evaluation of CD’s quality and patient's subjective assessment c ould happen due to improper clinical assessment of denture-bearing area, which consists of anatom y of supporting and limiting structures . However, other research es suggest alveolar ridges do n’t affect patient acceptance of CDs , so studies in this area are still considered equivocal. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of anatomy of lower complete denture supporting structures on retention and stability . This study is a descriptive analytic research with clinical examination of lower denture and oral cavit y. Total of samples are 3 0 CD patients th ose fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The result of this study based on the Fisher Exact Test showed a significant influence between the anatomy of lower complete denture supporting structures on retention and stability
