residual ridge resorption

Sažetak
Residual alveolar ridges show continual resunption after the loss of the natural dentition resulting in reduction of the morphologic face height and a counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. The aim of this study was to analyze the residual ridge resorption (RRR) in different regions of both jaws on teleroentgenograms of 50 complete denture wearers and to correlate such changes with age, sex, number of years edentulous, nighttime wear of the denture and the surface of denture bearing area. The height of residual ridges was measured on 5 different sites of each jaw on lateral telerontgenographs by using a callibrated grid. The results revealed that all the patients whowed significant RRR in one year period (p<0.01), 2.5 times bigger in the mandibular bone compared to the maxilla. RRR was bigger in men than in women, in patients who had their last extraction within a period of one year before receiving their dentures than in patients who extracted their teeth earlier, in younger individuals and in patients with bigger denture bearing area (p<0.01). nighttime denture wearing made no significant influence on the rate of RRR. The biggest rate of RRR was recorded at frontal sites of residual ridges compared to the lateral sites.
