Abstract
GRANADO MARTINEZ, Irene Iraildes; PEREZ GUERRA, Yudelquis and PEREZ GUERRA, Yudith Tamara. Risk factors associated with stomatitis subprosthesis. Specialty Clinic, Bayamo. 1st semester. 2017. Multimed [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.2, pp. 243-254. ISSN 1028-4818.
The installation of any type of stomatological prosthesis, necessarily produces changes in the oral environment, which force him to react to adapt to the new situation. Among the nonphysiological modifications that may appear is the subprosthesis stomatitis. This work was carried out in order to determine possible association of some risk factors with the appearance of stomatitis subprosthesis in patients aged 35-44 years admitted to the primary care service of the Stomatology Clinic, during the first semester of 2017. He carried out an analytical study of cases and controls. A sample of 66 patients was used; in the group cases with 22 and the control group with 44, all met the inclusion criteria. In the patients studied, predominance was observed in the case group of patients with misaligned prostheses (86.4%) and in the controls (95.5%) of patients with adjusted prostheses. It is concluded that the morbidity was mainly related to the mismatch of the prosthesis and to the improper use and without rest of the prosthetic device.
