Abstract

Abstract: The use of fixed denture aims to preserve and maintain the remained teeth and the whole mastication system properly. The use of fixed denture can be perceived as original teeth because it cannot be removed by the patient. However, fixed denture can also have an impact on periodontal tissues, such as gingivitis. This can probably occur due to the inappropriate process of the fixed denture that does not meet the requirements. This study was aimed to determine the gingival status of fixed denture users at RSGM PSPDG University of Sam Ratulangi Manado. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Population was all patients who used fixed denture made at RSGM PSPDG University of Sam Ratulangi Manado. Respondents were 31 people obtained by using total sampling method. Data consisted of checking sheets of gingival status with gingival index. The results showed that gingival status of 29 fixed denture users (93.6%) was in mild inflammation category (gingival index 0.7). Conclusion: In this study, most fixed denture users had gingival status of mild inflammation category.

Hal tersebut dapat terjadi bila dalam pembuatannya tidak memenuhi syarat-syarat pembuatan gigi tiruan cekat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui status gingiva pada pasien pengguna GTC di RSGM PSPDG Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif dengan desain potong lintang. Populasi penelitian ialah seluruh pasien yang menggunakan GTC yang dibuat di RSGM PSPDG Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado.
