- Abstract:
- In this prospective study, 120 teeth consisting of maxillary and mandibular canines and premolars were divided into three groups each containing 40 teeth. The teeth were assigned randomly in quadrants to three different periodontal treatment protocols. The first group was treated with professional prophylaxis only. The second group received additional deep scaling. With the third group, additional surgical periodontal flap surgery and scaling was performed. Both papillary bleeding index (PBI) and probing depth (PD) were evaluated before, during and after treatment. During the subsequent prosthetic treatment phase all teeth were then used as telescope abutments supporting a removable prosthesis. The documentation of the attachment level (AL) was then used as a clinical parameter. One year after the incorporation of telescopic removable partial dentures (RPDs), PD, PBI and AL were again evaluated. The resulting periodontal parameters were compared between the different groups using the general linear model (GLM) repeated measures and the Kruskal-Wallis test for non-parametric variables. Differences within the three treatment groups were determined using the t-test, e.g. the Wilcoxon test for dependent variables (P < 0.05). A significant decrease in inflammatory indices (PBI) was found for all types of periodontal treatment (P < 0.03 for all groups). Additionally, the reduction in PD was significant for all of the three groups (P < 0.001 for all groups). The greatest reduction in PD was observed in the group in which a surgical approach was used. Evaluation of the attachment level after the incorporation of the telescopic RPDs showed that tooth position did not influence the periodontal prognosis and that the use of telescopic RPDs exerted no ascertainable negative influence on the periodontium of the abutment teeth.
