“…A similar trend was observed in the upper jaw, where the anterior group (55.93%) has the highest percentage. These findings are in agreement with the previous studies 16,17,20,22,28 . The relatively higher percentage of bridges for the upper anterior group may suggest that aesthetic and social factors play a significant role in patients seeking FDP services for maxillary teeth.…”

“…Likewise, in both the jaws, a similar distribution proportion with the highest percentage in the same age group; 29.68% (upper) and 27.19% (lower) was observed. Similar results were reported in Indian study18, (34.05%) in the same age group and by from Nigeria 16 in ≤ 30 years age group. But European studies 8,17,22 , reported a higher percentage of fixed partial dentures in the 40 years and above age groups.…”

“…The female group with 56.75% received more FDP with a lower median age of 33(23-41) years which is in agreement with previous studies from other countries on the socio-demographic distribution of patients with fixed prostheses in Nigeria 16 , the United Kingdom 9 , and distribution of artificial crowns and fixed partial dentures by Siliness and Odont 17 . However, this contradicts the results from an institutional study on patient-preferred treatment modalities for replacing one or two missing teeth from India 6,18 , a study on factors influencing the treatment options for a single missing tooth from Pakistan 13 , and a study on the prevalence of crowns and fixed partial dentures by Napankangas et al 19 .…”

Introduction: Structural defects in teeth significantly impact oral health, leading to broader implications for an individual’s overall well-being. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns and bridges are the preferred forms of fixed dental prostheses (FDP) for restoring lost form, function, and aesthetics of the missing or damaged tooth/teeth. This study aimed to investigate the distribution pattern and proportions of FDP across genders, age groups, types of teeth, and jaw locations. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of records of dental prostheses availed at the National Referral Hospital from July 2016 to June 2021. Specific data on FDP were extracted and utilized for the analysis. Results: The median age of patients was 33 (23 - 41) years for females and 37 (26 - 50) years for males. Female patients accounted for the majority of FDP recipients, consisting of 56.7% of the total cases. Posterior crowns (80.7%) and, anterior bridges (48.7%) are the most prevalent FDP types. In the upper jaw, a significant proportion of FDP consisted of posterior crowns (70.5%) and, anterior bridges (55.9%). In contrast, the lower jaw predominantly received more crowns (96.0%) and bridges (49.3%) in the posterior region. Conclusions: FDP are prevalent among female patients with a lower median age. Anterior bridges restoring aesthetics are more prevalent in the upper jaw, whereas the bridges and crowns for posterior teeth are more in the lower jaw. Dental practitioners can tailor treatment approaches to meet patient expectations, whether to focus on aesthetics or functionality.

“…Yunus et al has stated the younger age group were willing for ixed and removable prosthesis than older age groups 87% (Yunus et al, 2001). Joan et al also stated that the age below 50 years were in need of prosthesis than the older age grou (Enabulele and Omo, 2018). This may be due to the awareness among younger age groups about the importance of replacement of missing teeth.…”

Tooth loss is a common dental problem. Impairment of oral functions and masticatory efficiency is a result of tooth loss. The negative effects of tooth loss can be managed by the fixed and removable prosthesis. This study was conducted to determine the influence of gender in selecting prosthesis. This study was a retrospective observational study conducted in a university hospital in Chennai. Data collection was done with the help of the electronic dental record of the university- Dental information archiving software (DIAS). It records all patients data from initial visit to last visit chronologically. This was followed by Excel tabulation. Data was analysed using SPSS Software. The association of study variables was calculated using the Chi-Square test. Within the limits of the study, female patients were willing for replacement of teeth than male patients (55%). There was a significant difference in choosing the type of prosthetic treatment. It was seen that fixed partial denture was chosen over removable prosthesis (59.8%).
