Abstract
Background: Total or partial edentulism is a good indicator of the oral health of a population. The present study was conducted
to assess socio-demographic distribution of patients with fixed prostheses.
Materials & Methods:
The present study was conducted on 280 patients of fixed prostheses. Five socioeconomic groups:
professionals and managerial officers and retirees of this type, skilled Workers, Semi-skilled Workers, Unskilled workers and
dependents were assessed.
Results: Age group 20-30 years had 20, 30-40 years had 59, 40-50 years had 74 and 50-60 years had 127 patients. 110 patients
were dependent, 67 were unskilled, 46 were semi-skilled, 34 were professional and 23 were skilled workers. The difference was
significant (P<0.05). Fixed prostheses were seen in both anterior and posterior teeth in 112 cases, anterior in 110 cases and
posterior in 58 cases. The difference was non- significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Authors found that fixed prostheses were commonly among dependents followed by unskilled and semi-skilled
