Objective:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of signs of combination syndrome in patients seeking treatment for edentulous maxilla and the effect of wearing Kennedy class 1 removable partial denture in the lower arch on the frequency of signs of combination syndrome.
Materials & Methods :
Sample consists of 100 patients , who were seeking treatment for edentulous maxilla , in the department of prosthodontic KCD Peshawar..An intra oral examination was carried out to find the combination signs as described by Kelly i.e; palatal papillary hyperplasia ,maxillary bone resorption ,overgrowth of tuberosity ,extrusion of mandibular anterior teeth ,bone loss in mandibular posterior region . The chi-square test at the 95% level of significance was used to test the association between dependent and independent variables.
Results :
Extrusion of mandibular anterior teeth was the most frequent sign ( 38%). The association between removable partial denture wearer was only significant for the mandibular anterior teeth extrusion (p=0.019 ).
Conclusion :
It was found that signs of combination syndrome were quite frequent except for papillary hyperplasia and over growth of tuberosity. There was no association between the occurrence of combination syndrome signs and wearing of removable partial denture in lower arch.
