Effect of Class V and Class Iii Composite Restoration on Periodontal Health

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of class V and class III composite restoration on periodontal health.

Materials And Methods: This study was planned in a university set up among the patients under the age group of 25 to 70 years who visited Saveetha Dental College for dental check up. A total of 100 patients were selected with a simple random sampling technique. Case reports of the patients were retrieved and reviewed from the archives of Saveetha Dental College. Parameters such as age, gender, clinical attachment loss and periodontal probing depth was evaluated. The Inclusion criteria included patients between the age group of 25 to 70 years who have undergone class V and class III composite restorations. Whereas, exclusion criteria included the incomplete case records. The data was tabulated in excel sheets and were copied to IBM SPSS (version 26.0) for statistical analysis.

Results: The present shows that male patients had higher mean clinical attachment loss with respect to class III composite restoration (32.18%) and class V (28.85%) composite restoration when compared to females.  p value =0.22 >0.05, Hence it was statistically insignificant. The current study shows that female patients had higher mean periodontal probing depth with respect to class V (28.28%) composite restoration when compared to males. Male patients had higher mean periodontal probing depth with respect to class III  (23.12%)  composite restoration when compared to females. p value=0.12 >0.05. Hence it was statistically insignificant. The current study shows that most of the patients belonging to the 25-40 years age group had higher mean clinical attachment loss with respect to class V (21.94%) composite restoration and patients belonging to the 41-55 age group had higher mean clinical attachment loss with respect to class III (19.94%) composite restoration. p value  = 0.72 >0.05. Hence it is statistically insignificant. The present study shows that most  of the patients belonging to the 41-55 years age group had higher mean periodontal probing depth with respect to class V (21.14%) and class III (19.89%) composite restoration. p value =0.04 <0.05. Hence it was statistically significant.

Conclusion: Within the limit of the study, it can be concluded that male patients had higher clinical attachment loss with respect to class III  and class V composite restoration when compared to females. Female patients had higher periodontal probing depth with respect to class V composite restoration when compared to males. Patients belonging to the 25-40 years age group had higher clinical attachment loss with respect to class V composite restoration. Patients belonging to the 41-55 years age group had higher periodontal probing depth with respect to class V and class III composite restoration. Therefore, from this study it can be seen that there is a definite correlation between the effects of composite restoration on the periodontal health status.
