ABSTRACT
Foundation: Sub prosthesis stomatitis is one of the most frequent affections in patients who wear dental prosthesis and constitutes a risk factor for the appearance of pre malignant and malignant lesions in the oral cavity.Objective: To describe the behaviour of sub prosthesis stomatitis in patients with upper dental prosthesis.
Methods: A descriptive study was carried out, of all the patients who wear upper dental prosthesis (N=61) who came to the consultation due to sub prosthesis stomatitis, in the period from September 2014 to September 2015. The variables analyzed were: Age groups, sex, degree of the lesion, state of the prosthesis, toxic habits, location of the lesion and frequency of visits to the dentist.
Results: Old adults predominated (54.1%) and sub prosthesis Stomatitis degree II, represented by 77%. Unadjusted prosthesis was observed in most patients and the lesions were located more frequently in mix zones. The most frequent toxic habits were continuous use and deficient oral hygiene. 85.2% of the patients reported to have visited the dentist only when they felt discomforts.
Conclusion: Some results show patients ignorance about this ailment, among them a high frequency of toxic habits so as the use of continuous use of prosthesis and deficient oral hygiene, factors which condition the appearance of sub prosthesis stomatitis.
