Resumo
The aim of this study was to assess and compare dental and
periodontal condition of direct abutment teeth of extension
base RPDs (Kennedy classes I and II) and tooth supported RPDs
(Kennedy classes III and IV). Clinical conditions such as plaque
index, gingival inflammation, pocket depth, presence of carious
lesions and calculus, and tooth mobility were assessed, Thirty
seven patients were assigned at ramdom for clinical assessment,
6 males and 31 females, totalizing 44 prostheses (21 extension base prostheses and 23 tooth supported prostheses). The pa-
tients did not receive any kind of previous treatment and were
evaluated by only one examiner. Results showed that plaque in-
dex and gingival inflammation were significantly higher in the
extension-base group. According to these results, the extension-
-base RPDs showed greater negative effects on direct abutment
teeth than tooth-supported RPDs.
