Abstract
AIM- To analyse the gender based analysis of patients undergoing composite restoration following
fractured teeth.
INTRODUCTION- Uncomplicated to complicated crown fracture is the most common traumatic
dental injury to permanent teeth. Most dental injuries involve just one tooth, and the majority of
the affected teeth are maxillary central incisors. This study evaluates the gender based analysis of
composite restorations done in saveetha dental college for the management of anterior tooth
fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHOD- The study was conducted in Saveetha Dental College and
Hospitals, with patients visiting for a period between june 2019 and August 2021. The data was
collected by reviewing the case sheets of patients who had undergone direct composite restoration
for the management of fractured teeth. The obtained data was entered in Ms Excel spreadsheet and
the tabulated data was subjected to statistical software IBM SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive
inferential statistics were done.
RESULT- The study showed that 894 patients reported to the out patient ward of saveetha dental
college with class 1 and class 2 ellis fracture. Out of these patients 590 patients were males and
304 patients were females which is found to be statistically significant (p-0.05). Mesial surface of
the teeth are more likely to fracture compared to the distal surface because of the position of the
teeth in the arch. Predominantly Ellis class 2 fractures are more compared to Ellis class 1amongst
both the genders (p-0.05).
CONCLUSION- This study shows that male patients had more anterior fractures compared to
females. Younger individuals had more fractures compared to older age groups. As aesthetics is
of main concern, the patient is keen on restoring the teeth without any time delay.
