Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of periodontal pocket associated with full coverage fixed prostheses in patients coming to Rehmat Memorial Dental Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad.

Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 116 participants of both genders, age 30 to 60 years, systemically healthy, nonsmoker patients with root canal treated abutment teeth  having full coverage fixed prostheses for at least one year. The probing pocket depth was measured at six sites per tooth (mesio-buccal, mid buccal, disto-buccal, disto-lingual, mid lingual and mesio-lingual) using the WHO probe. For stratification of pocket depth among age groups and genders chi-square test was applied.

Results: The mean age 40.68±7.98 years. The mean pocket depth was 2.746±0.257 mm. The males were 67(57.76%) and females were 49(42.24%). Most common abutment teeth were mandibular molars (n=46, 39.7%), followed by maxillary molars (n=16, 13.8%), and least were upper incisors (n=11, 9.5%). The periodontal pocket was present in 26(22.4%) participants. No statistical association  between periodontal pocket with age and genders was found.

Conclusion: The periodontal pocket is not rare occurrence among fixed denture wearers with no genders and age predilection.
