Abstract

Purpose. To investigate the differences in the frequency of post-fitting denture check-ups based on gender, age, insurance status, denture arch, and type among patients aged 65 and above. Methods. This research analyzed 988 patients from National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital's Department of Prosthodontics, who had denture fittings over the last 10 years. Variables including gender, age, insurance status and type, denture arch, and denture type were assessed. Statistical analyses were performed at a 5% significance level. Results. The study incorporated 988 dentures, revealing a median of 3 check-ups post-fitting. Male patients significantly had more visits than females (P = .017), and those with full metal dentures visited significantly more than those with partial dentures (P = .005). Other variables were not significantly influential on the post-fitting check-up frequency. Conclusion. Within this study's confines, an increase in denture adjustment sessions was observed for male patients and those with full metal dentures.

목적: 의치를 장착한 환자에서 성별, 연령, 보험적용여부 및 종류, 의치를 장착한 악궁, 의치 종류에 따라 의치 장착 후 사후 점검 횟수에 차이가 있는지 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법:이 연구는 10년 간 일산병원 치과보철과에서 의치를 장착한 만 65세 이상의 환자 988명을 대상으로 하였다. 성별, 연령, 보험 적용 여부 및 종류, 의치를 장착한 악궁, 의치 종류 등의 변수를 고려하여 사후 점검의 횟수와 기간을 평가하였으며, 통계 분석은 5%의 유의수준에서 진행하였다. 결과: 총 988개의 의치가 포함되었으며, 사후 점검 횟수의 중위수는 3으로 나타났다. 남성이 여성보다 유의미하게 (P = .017) 내원 횟수가 더 많았으며, 의치 종류에 따라서는 금속상 총의치가 국소의치보다 유의미하게 (P = .005) 사후 점검 횟수가 더 많았다. 그 외의 변수는 사후 점검 횟수에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 결론: 이번 연구의 한계 내에서 남성 환자와, 금속상 총의치 환자의 경우 의치의 조정 횟수가 증가하였다.
