title: [Clinico-statistical observation of various prosthetic restorations at the Prosthetic Department, Asahi University Hospital. 3. Frequency of various prosthetic restorations inserted for the duration from April 1986 to March 1987].
abstract: The statistics for prosthetic restorations used at the Prosthetic Department of Asahi University Hospital from April 1986 to March 1987 were compared with those obtained in earlier period (April 1983 to March 1984). A total of 2,360 prosthetic restorations were used. This was a 12.5% decrease compared to the previous period. No significant sex-related difference was found in the number of restorations used. The number of prosthetic restorations was decreased in patients in their forties who had the most restorations in the previous period. During the period investigated in this study, the number of prosthetic restorations was highest in the patients in their fifties and lowest in those in their eighties. By sex, prosthetic restorations were used most frequently in males in their fifties and in females in their thirties. The prosthetic restorations used during this period had almost the same proportions as in the previous period. Most frequently used were full cast crowns followed by facing crowns, as were during the previous period. The former amounted to 36.1% and the latter to 22.1%. Full dentures were the least used restorations and amounted to 5.2% of all the prostheses. The use of facing crowns had considerably decreased in patients in their forties, although this age group had the highest frequency of use during the previous period. Full cast crowns were most frequently used in patients in their thirties, removable partial dentures in those in their fifties and total dentures in those in their seventies.
