“…Curtis et al reported that mandibular removable partial dentures are more common than maxillary removable partial dentures, and that the class I mandibular RPD is the most prevalent type of RPD for either dental arch. 9 Kennedy Class III was reported to be the most common pattern (57.14%) in a sample of the Iraqi population in a study carried out by Hatim et al 27 In Benin, Ehikhamenor, et al 28 found that the most commonly restored edentulous area was Kennedy's class III (57.3%). In this study, Kennedy's Class III was found to be the most prevalent pattern of partial edentulism both in the maxillary arch (44.9%) and the mandibular arch (67.4%).…”

Objective: To evaluate data with regards to the current prevalence of various Kennedy’s classes of edentulism and their association with age. Material and Methods: A total of 157 patients were selected, and the prevalence of partial edentulism among the selected patient was recorded. Patients were grouped into three age groups. Kennedy’s classification was used to determine the pattern of partially edentulous arches. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0 for Windows. Results: The results showed that the occurrence of Kennedy Class III partial edentulism was 44.9% in the maxillary arch and 67.4% in the mandibular arch, followed by Class II in both the maxillary and mandibular arch with an average of 15.9% in the maxillary arch and 4.9% in the mandibular arch. Based on these results, Kennedy’s Class III was the most prevalent partially edentulous pattern 57.8% among the maxillary and the mandibular arch. Conclusions: Among selected patients, the prevalence of Class I and II was predominant among elderly population of > 50 years, whereas Class III was present among all ages.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequencies and pattern of partial edentulism according to Kennedy’s classification in local population and its association with gender or arch type. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 214 patients who visited Outpatient department, Nishtar Institute of Dentistry, Multan from 15-31st January, 2022. Non-probability consecutive sampling was employed. Partially dentate patients of age groups from 21 year onward were included in the study whereas completely edentulous patients or having fixed-prosthesis were not. Pattern of edentulism was evaluated by inspection and visual examination of the patient. Classification of arches was done according to Kennedy’s classification in combination with Applegate’s rules. To avoid complications, modifications were not considered. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 was used to analyze data and, frequencies and percentages were calculated along with association between the Kennedy’s class and other variables. Results: Of the 214 subjects, 108 (50.5%) were male and 106 (49.5%) were female. Majority (25.2%, n=54) of the patients were in their 30s followed by 24.8% in their forties (fig 1). In majority (65.4%, n=140) of the patients Kennedy’s class III was seen (fig 2). There was no significant association of Kennedy’s class with arch type (p=0.09) or gender (p=0.78). Conclusion: Kennedy’s class III was the most found partial edentulism pattern. No significant association was found between Kennedy’s class and gender or arch type. Key Words: Partial edentulism, Kennedy’s classification, Applegate’s rule, tooth loss

“…In this study, Kennedys class III is the most prevalent pattern of partial edentulousness which is similar to the previous study conducted in the Nepalese population, 12,[14][15][16] and similar results were obtained in a previous study conducted in the Iraqi population. 17,18 This could be attributed to the fact that the first molar is the first permanent tooth to erupt into the oral cavity and has a higher chance of being affected by caries and a greater likelihood of the tooth being extracted. 19 However, few studies have shown Class I as the most prevalent type of partial edentulism in their study.…”

Introduction: Edentulousness (partial or complete) is a sequel of tooth loss and is an indicator of the oral health status of a population. Edentulousness has a series of deleterious consequences for oral and general health. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of edentulousness among patients visiting the dental unit of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out based on hospital records of patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Prosthodontics of a tertiary care centre from 1 January 2019 to 30 December 2019 to see the prevalence of edentulousness. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 077/ 078 /40). A convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 4697 patients, edentulousness was found in 403 (8.58%) (7.78-9.38, 95% Confidence Interval). Partial edentulous were 263 (65.30%) and complete edentulous were 140 (34.70%). Of the total partial edentulous patient, Kennedy’s class III found in 200 (76.05%) was the most common pattern followed by Kennedy’s class I in 32 (12.17%), class II in 21 (7.98%) and class IV in 10 (3.80%) patients respectively. Conclusions: The prevalence of edentulousness was similar to other studies done in similar settings. Since edentulousness is a preventable problem, it should be addressed with high priority.
