ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to assess the effects on the gingiva when an experimental palatal acrylic removable appliance, was worn for 3 weeks. Clinical parameters were reassessed after a 3 week recovery period when the appliance was no longer worn. The appliance design featured a base plate on the right side which extended to the gingival margin, but which on the left, was relieved from the gingival margin by 6mm. Plaque index, gingival index, and probing depth were recorded on days 0, 7, and 21, and at day 42. Results indicated that there was increasing gingival inflammation in the right palatal gingiva by day 7, and this became worse by day 21. Statistically significant differences in gingival inflammation were evident when right and left sides were compared at day 7 and 21, although there were no significant differences in plaque accumulation during this period. Probing depth measurements also increased significantly on the right side by day 21. All these gingival changes reversed to baseline levels during the recovery period by day 42. This paper demonstrates the rapid effect of acrylic denture design on gingival tissues.
