Introduction
Evaluating the patients or proper diagnosis, prognosis and ap-
propriate treatment plan is the frst step in denture treatment. A
signifcant number of patients with complete denture treatment
are best with signifcant impairment on general health [41]. Pre-
dominantly older population tends to seek for denture demands
a systemization of knowledge of their special needs and reaction
are important. Complete denture treatment depends upon the
evaluation of available information. So, that a defnitive treatment
planning and along with patients assessment can be done [26].
Planning a treatment for denture health service is an extremely
complex and challenging procedure that must be altered to meet
the technical, anatomical, biological, Psychological and Instruc-
tional need of the patients. Thus the overall health of the soft tis-
sue area and the attitude of the patient gives along a major contri-
bution [48].Various systemic disease play a crucial role in deciding
treatment option in dentistry. Almost all the procedures done in
the feld of prosthodontics will require a good systemic health or
a well-balanced systemic condition (Singh, no date). Now a days
improved quality of life , together with reduced mortality rates,
has termoundesly increased the elderly population worldwide.
Several studies have failed to explain the correlations between ei-
ther patient satisfaction with their dentures and their quality or
denture satisfaction and quality of the denture-supporting areas
[14, 6].
In Spite of global decrease in edentulism, with great numbers of
people reaching an advanced age, the number of patients without
teeth continues to be high [16, 44]. In India, being a developing
country and having a huge population, there is a lack of aware-
ness and management of the edentulous state and the rehabilita-
tion of edentulous patients with complete dentures [42]. Among
the most important goals of dental care is helping patients in their
Abstract
Evaluating the patients or proper diagnosis, prognosis and appropriate treatment plan is the frst step in denture treatment. A
signifcant number of patients with complete denture treatment are best with signifcant impairment on general health. The
main objective of the study is to fnd out the prevalence of systemic disease among complete dentures in patients attending
Saveetha Dental College and hospitals. It is a retrospective study where 86,000 case sheets were assessed out of which 390
complete denture patients were assessed regarding their general health. Total of 390 complete denture patients out of which
171 female patients and 219 male patients. Patients without any systemic disease stands for 64.19%, Patient with diabetes Mel-
litus accounts for 21.48%, 5.37% accounted for patients with Blood pressure, 1.28% accounted for cardiac problems, Patients
with both diabetic and blood pressure accounted for about 5.37%, and the prevalence of diabetes mellitus was found to be
higher when compared with other systemic disease when taken into account. And also it was found in our study that male
population were affected more when compared to female population.
