Objectives: To assess the prevalence of issues among patients who visit Bacha Khan College of Dentistry in Mardan after receiving fi xed partial dentures.
Materials and Methods: The study comprised 157 participants with fixed partial dentures of both sexes. After three months, all patients were evaluated, and problems such as cavities, the need for endodontic therapy, and retention loss were identified. The statistical analysis employed the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality.
Results: The study included participants aged 18 to 50, with an average age of 44.337±4.14 years and a procedure time of 38.484±6.88 minutes. 51.6% of the patients were women, while 48.4% were men. 44.6% of patients had cavities, 21% required endodontic treatment, and 34.4% had lost their retainer.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates how biological issues often occur with permanent partial dentures, particularly in abutment teeth. It highlights the signifi cance of timely post-treatment intervention and continuous observation. The highlighted concerns can be reduced, and patient outcomes can be improved by implementing enhanced follow-up procedures and patient education on oral hygiene and fixed partial denture care.
