Résumé

Abstract Objective: The goal of the removable partial denture is to restore impaired esthetics and mastica- tory function by replacing missing teeth. The aim of this study was to establish a possible correla- tion between removable partial denture in acrylic resin use after 5 years and dental diseases. Ma- terials and Methods: Partially edentulous patients presenting for removable denture treatment at  the Prosthodontics service of the Affiliated Hospital of Kinshasa University, Democratic Republic  of Congo were assessed in this study. Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups: Denture and  non-denture group. Caries and periodontal diseases were compared between both groups. Statis- tical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The average age in the denture and non-denture- group was 53.15 (±SD 22.05) and 31.59 (±SD 11.98) years. Out of 160 teeth were decayed, both  110 teeth (68.75%) in the denture-group and 50 teeth (31.25%) in the non-denture group. The  DMFT index calculated at start time of the study was 0.2 for both groups, after five years was 7.1  for the denture-group and 2.6 for the non-denture-group. The plaque index in the denture-group  had an index of 1 and that of non-denture-group was 0.5. Conclusion: The relationship has been  found between patients’ wearers a RPD and dental diseases.
