The document discusses the relationship between oral health and systemic health, noting that evaluation of a patient's overall health status is important prior to dental treatment. It then focuses on the effects of various systemic diseases on prosthodontic patients, including direct and indirect effects on oral tissues, drug interactions, immune system compromise, and sensory/motor disturbances. Specific systemic diseases that are discussed include diabetes, chronic kidney disease, anemia, leukemia, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, and dementias. Management strategies for prosthodontic treatment of patients with these conditions are provided.

2.  Oral Health & Systemic health are inter-related
 More apparent when patient seeking oral care presents with systemic disorder
 Evaluation and consideration of overall health status prior to dental treatment
 Essential part of comprehensive health care system and better prognosis for
dental treatment
 Effect of un managed systemic disease on prosthodontic patients

3.  Direct or Indirect effects on oral tissue
 Drug interactions
 Immune system compromise
 Bacteremia
 Sensory and motor disturbances
 Decrease in patients’ tolerance to prosthodontic treatment
 Decrease in motivation towards oral health
 Regession towards invasive procedures
 Change in oral cavity which can effect treatment planning and prosthetic
procedures.

6.  At the end of this session student would be able to
 Identify various systemic disorders which affect oral cavity/ Prosthodontic
treatment
 Understand the affect of systemic disorders on prognosis of complete denture
treatment
 Apply the knowledge for prosthodontic management of systemic disorders

9. AGE
 A GERIATRIC PATIENT WOULD BE HAVING POOR MUSCULAR CONTROL
 SYSTEMIC DISEASES + MEDICATIONS SIDE EFFECTS LIKE
XEROSTOMIA
 MORE RIDGE RESORPTION= INADEQUATE RIDGE SUPPORT
 HIGH EXPECTATIONS IN ELDERLY

10. GENDER
Male and Female will have different aesthetic and functional
requirements
Menopausal females have difficulty in adapatation to
dentures as compare to male due to harmonal changes
during and after menopause

14. Diabetes mellitus xerostomia • Affects retention
• Soreness+ulcers
• Denture stomatitis
Change in osmotic balance
leads to change in mucosal
surface

15.  Hypogycemia / Hyperglycemia
 Frequent Ulcerations
 Xerostomia
 Denture stomatitis
 Compromised Retention ?????????

THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE
An accurate record of the denture bearing tissues is needed to produce well supported, stable &
retentive dentures

17.  A thorough Medical History including drugs and prescriptions to bring at the day
of appointment
 Stress Reduction Protocoal.
 Morning and short appointments
 Eradication of any oral diseases
 Oral cavity should be in a healthy state prior to prosthodontic treatment

18.  Mucostatic impression technique
 Digital Impressions
 Simple hygienic designs
 Supragingival margins
 Minimal trauma from occlusion
 Salivary Reservoirs

20. Osteoporosis/Arthiritis Rapid bone resorption Knife edge ridges

22.  Mucostatic / Minimal impression technique
 Minimal trauma from occlusion
 Simple and self cleansable designs of prosthesis
 Frequent use of denture cleansers
 Meticulous maintenance of denture hygiene.

23. • Compromised
muscular Control

25. Neuromuscular
disorders
• Poor denture
control
• Lack of
retention
Lack of
stability

26.  Saliva pooling during impression taking , increased risk of impression choking.
 Poor muscular control
 Irregular muscle movements

27.  A thorough medical history
 Muscular examination
 Tmj examination
 Consultation with patients physician regarding drugs
 Mucostatic impression technique
 Minimal trauma from occlusion
 Simple designs
 Implant supported prosthesis are preferred

28.  Xerostomia
 Painful ulcers
 Limited mouth opening
 Impaired oral hygiene maintenance

29.  Sectioned impression trays/ Sectional Impressions
 Use of corticosteroid and antimicrobial therapy
 Simple design
 Less mucosal coverage
 Implant supported prosthesis

32.  Increased risk of medical emergencies
 Xerostomia
 Gingival enlargement
 Mucosal Ulceration
 Lichen planus
 Mucosal Ulceration

33.  A thorough Medical History including drugs and prescriptions to bring at the day of
appointment
 Stress Reduction Protocoal Non- Pharmacological ( Anxiolytics)/ Sedation
 Morning and short appointments
 BP Monitoring Throught long appointments
 Eradication of any oral diseases Prior taking impressions
 Oral cavity should be in a healthy state prior to prosthodontic treatment

34.  Salivary subsitutes
 Denture adhesives
 Polished dentures
 Salivary Reservoirs
 Meticulous maintenance of denture hygiene

35.  Impaired bone maturation & development in long term anemic patient
 Implants NOT contraindicated in most anemic patients
 Patients show disrupted & delayed healing
 Long time needed for implant osteointegration
 Progressive loading of implants to be followed
 Care needs to be observed while administrating pre and post OP antibiotics.

36.  Uncontrolled proliferation & release of immature blood cells
 Non irritating removable PD or CD can be used if patient maintains good oral
hygene
 FPD with supra gingival finish lines recommended
 Digital impression recommended
 Implants are contraindicated in such patients:
 increased bleeding
 delayed healing
 risk of secondary infection
 PostOP discomfort

37.  Usually presents with
 Immunosuppression
 Polypharmacy
 Renal Osteodystrophy
 Bone loss
 Restriction of oral fluid intake
 May produce premature tooth loss and xerostomia
 All prosthodontic problems should be treated before “transplant”
 If implants are to be placed after transplant, postpone till health stabilizes and
transplant is accepted by the body
 Local anestheisa without vasoconstrictors to be used
 Patients may have osteodystrophy while leads to bone demineralization and can cause
the bone to fracture after dental procedures. Treatment should be carefully monitored

38.  Hemodialysis patients:
 Implant surgery to be done 1 day after hemodialysis
 Long term implant stability should be measured using RFA or frequent radiographs
 Gingival enlargement
 In normal, crown and implant tooth is a common occurrence in patients who take
calcium channel blockers.
 Proper periodontal maintenance is necessary to avoid gingival enlargement
 Screw retained implant prosthesis are recommended for ease in maintainance
