Materials & Methods:The descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted on 95 adult patients of age 40 and above. Adult patients with age ≥ 40years, removable partial/complete denture wearers for more than 1 year were included in this study. Edentulous patients without prosthesis, mentally retarded and wearing implant supported removable prosthesis were excluded. Data related to age, gender, type of denture (removable partial or complete), length of denture use, hygiene care, nocturnal denture wear, presence of Denture induced fibrous hyperplasia were noted. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables. Post- stratification was determined using chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The mean age was 66.75±10.16 years. Complete denture wearers 50(52.6%) were more than RPD wearers 45(47.4%). The frequency of denture induced fibrous hyperplasia among removable denture wearers were 55.8%. The difference of denture induced fibrous hyperplasia among various ages was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Denture induced hyperplasia is common manifestation in removable denture wearers and more common in old ages and nocturnal wears. So it the utmost responsibility of the clinicians to give proper instruction to their patients about denture care and regular follow up.
