Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate the age group preferring temporary partial dentures in Saveetha Dental College. A total of 3725 patient records with partial edentulism diagnosis were selected in this study. The data was imported using SPSS analysis software. Analysed by Chi-square test, p value obtained is 0.518 which is not significant, (p<0.05). Out of the 3725 patients, 3285(88.19%) were with Temporary partial Denture and 440(11.81%)were without temporary partial denture. 909 patients were with temporary partial denture and 126 were without temporary partial denture in the age group of 41-50 years. From this study, we can debut that, age groups of 41-50 years show more preference for wearing TPD. 51-60 years of age were the second most preferring in having TPD. The least preferential were the age group of 18-20 years. The records were formulated into an excel sheet. Within the limits of the study, the most common prevalence is the age group of 41-50 years.
