Abstract EN
Gingival recession may be due to faulty dental treatment.
The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of fixed partial dentures according to age, sex, location and type of material used in construction and discovers the influence of fixed partial denture characteristics (quality, duration, number of abutments and pontics) on frequency of gingival recession.
Materials and Methods : A total of 160 patients were selected from patients attending for dental examination at college of dentistry, University of Baghdad.
The subjects had cast or ceramic fixed partial denture or dentures for at least 3 years.
The distributions of restoration according to age, sex, location and type of material were investigated.
Number of abutments and pontics, quality and duration of restoration since worn in relation to gingival recession were evaluated.
Results: Females asked more for fixed partial dentures in younger age group than males, and in upper anterior region more than other regions.
The percentage of cast fixed partial denture was more than ceramic type.
A higher percentage of patients had gingival recession related to restoration with poor marginal integrity and longer period since worn.
A high significant difference was found between lengths of fixed partial denture and absence of gingival recession and low significant differences between quality of restoration and presence of gingival recession.
Conclusion: The study concluded that fixed partial denture characteristics (quality, duration, number of abutments and pontics) had significant and high significant effects on frequency of gingival recession
