The Relationship Between the Shape and Size of the Alveolar Linggir in the Study Model of the Full Edentulus Patient at the USU RSGM

Introduction

The loss of all teeth, also known as edentulus, can have a significant impact on the alveolar linggir, a bone structure around the teeth. This process, known as resorption, can change the shape and size of the alveolar linggir, affecting denture retention and stability. In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in full edentulus patient study models at the Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) RSGM.

Background

Edentulus is a condition where a person loses all their teeth, which can lead to significant changes in the alveolar linggir. The alveolar linggir is a bone structure that surrounds the teeth and plays a crucial role in denture retention and stability. The resorption of the alveolar linggir can lead to changes in its shape and size, affecting the fit and stability of dentures. Understanding the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir is essential in the practice of prostodontic, as it can provide valuable insights into making dentures that are more effective and comfortable for patients.

Research Design

This study employed an analytical descriptive research design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 full-compliant edentulus patient study models were used as samples, with 50 models from the upper jaw and 50 models from the lower jaw. The study models were cut in the premolar region to analyze the alveolar linggir form visually, followed by measurements using digital calipers. The data obtained was then analyzed using the Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Test to determine the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir.

Results

The results of this study showed that the most common alveolar linggir form found in both the upper and lower jaws was the U form, followed by the V form, and the flat form. In terms of size, the large size proportion dominated in both the upper and lower jaws, followed by the medium and small sizes. Based on sex, men tended to have more alveolar linggir and large size, while women were more dominant in the form of V and flat and medium and small sizes.

Discussion

The results of this study showed a significant relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in both jaws, with a p-value of 0.0001 (p < 0.05). This finding suggests that the resorption and duration of the edentulus affect the retention and stability of the denture. This relationship is crucial in the practice of prostodontic, as it can provide valuable insights into making dentures that are more effective and comfortable for patients.

Conclusion

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in full edentulus patient study models at the USU RSGM. The results showed a significant relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in both jaws, with a p-value of 0.0001 (p < 0.05). This finding is essential in the practice of prostodontic, as it can provide valuable insights into making dentures that are more effective and comfortable for patients. This study also highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in the management of dentures.

Implications

This study has several implications for the practice of prostodontic. Firstly, it highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in making dentures that are more effective and comfortable for patients. Secondly, it suggests that the resorption and duration of the edentulus affect the retention and stability of the denture, which is crucial in the practice of prostodontic. Finally, this study provides valuable insights into the development of new techniques and strategies in prostodontic, which can improve the quality of life of edentulus patients.

Limitations

This study has several limitations. Firstly, the sample size was limited to 100 full-compliant edentulus patient study models, which may not be representative of the entire population. Secondly, the study only investigated the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in full edentulus patient study models, which may not be applicable to other conditions. Finally, the study did not investigate the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir and other factors, such as age and sex.

Future Directions

This study provides several directions for future research. Firstly, it highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in making dentures that are more effective and comfortable for patients. Secondly, it suggests that the resorption and duration of the edentulus affect the retention and stability of the denture, which is crucial in the practice of prostodontic. Finally, this study provides valuable insights into the development of new techniques and strategies in prostodontic, which can improve the quality of life of edentulus patients.

Q&A: The Relationship Between the Shape and Size of the Alveolar Linggir in the Study Model of the Full Edentulus Patient at the USU RSGM

Introduction

The loss of all teeth, also known as edentulus, can have a significant impact on the alveolar linggir, a bone structure around the teeth. This process, known as resorption, can change the shape and size of the alveolar linggir, affecting denture retention and stability. In this Q&A article, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in full edentulus patient study models at the Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) RSGM.

Q: What is the alveolar linggir?

A: The alveolar linggir is a bone structure that surrounds the teeth and plays a crucial role in denture retention and stability. It is a complex structure that is affected by the loss of teeth, leading to changes in its shape and size.

Q: What is edentulus?

A: Edentulus is a condition where a person loses all their teeth. This can be due to various reasons, such as gum disease, tooth decay, or trauma.

Q: How does the loss of teeth affect the alveolar linggir?

A: The loss of teeth can lead to resorption of the alveolar linggir, which is the process of bone loss. This can change the shape and size of the alveolar linggir, affecting denture retention and stability.

Q: What are the different forms of the alveolar linggir?

A: The alveolar linggir can take on different forms, including U, V, and flat. These forms are determined by the shape of the alveolar linggir and can affect denture retention and stability.

Q: What are the different sizes of the alveolar linggir?

A: The alveolar linggir can be classified into different sizes, including large, medium, and small. These sizes are determined by the width of the alveolar linggir and can affect denture retention and stability.

Q: What is the relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir?

A: The study found a significant relationship between the shape and size of the alveolar linggir in both the upper and lower jaws. This suggests that the resorption and duration of the edentulus affect the retention and stability of the denture.
