among geriatric patients attending the restorative clinic in a tertiary health facility in 
Lagos State,South Western Nigeria.Methodology:Hospital records of geriatric patients65years 
and above were retrieved.Oral evaluation and treatment done at the restorative clinic in 
LASUTH from January2016toDecember2019 were noted.Information on age,gender,occupation
diagnosis and treatment needs was obtained.Data were analyzed.Results:501 patient records 
of 65 years and above were retrieved.497records were completed.192(40.1%)were males,287
(59.9%)were females.Age range 65to92years.Highest presentation(51.8%)was in 65to69
years group followed by 70to74years group.Partial edentulism was most common presentation
149(31.1%)followed by toothwear92(19.2%).Least were pulp necrosis3(0.6%) and bruxism4(0.8%)
Removable partial denture was the most common treatment need151(31.5%)followed by Glass
ionomer cement restoration100(20.9%).Least were apicectomy2(0.4%)and desensitization5(1%)
Conclusion:Most geriatric patients presented with partial edenlism and their treatment needs
were mainly removable partial dentures.Oral hygiene awareness is essential for geriatrics to

4 YEAR PATTERN OF CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT RENDERED TO PATIENTS ATTENDING THE RESTORATIVE CLINIC IN A TERTIARY INSTITUTION IN LAGOS

Research Details

Abstract

Aim / Objective: To determine the pattern of treatments performed in the conservative clinic of the department of Restorative Dentistry of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, (LASUTH) Nigeria over a period of 4 years.

Materials and Methods: 

3017 clinical records of patients treated from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrieved and recorded. Data collected were age, sex, occupation, and treatment done. Conservative treatment obtained include; temporary dressing TID, amalgam, glass ionomer GIC, and composite restorations root canal treatment (RCT), crown and bridgework.  Data collected were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Level of significance was set at P<0.05 and Confidence interval (CI) of 95%

Results: 

A total of 4134 procedures were performed on 3017 patients during the study period. The age  range was 16 to 78years, mean of 37.2 ±7.4years.  Conservative treatment pattern revealed that age group 45years and above presented most followed by 26-35years age group. Females presented more for treatment with a ratio of female to male 1.4: 1. GIC filling was the most common treatment done. The least treatment performed was apicectomy.

Conclusion:  There was a gradual paradigm shift from mercury based material, which is a more invasive treatment to tooth colored materials which are more conservative (Minimally Invasive Dentistry).
