Two years periodontal evaluation of surveyed crown teeth
Faisal M. Fahmy, BDS, MSc*, Moodhy Al-Athel, BDS, MSc**
This study was undertaken to evaluate the periodontal conditions of thirty-four (34) surveyed crowns which support and retain different designs of removable partial dentures with
different clasping systems. The patients were called at four intervals. The gingival and plaque indices were measured according to Loé. The tooth mobility was measured according to the following criteria: 0 - no mobility; 1 - mobility 1 mm buccolingually; and 2 - mobility more than 1 mm buccolingually. The findings indicated no significant difference in tooth mobility or the gingival index. However, a significant difference was found in plaque index between the day of denture placement and the fourth visit.
