Objectives: To evaluate periodontal parameters of abutment teeth and interproximal sites, in patients with mandibular class I Kennedy Removable Partial Dentures (RPD), after 4 years of periodontal treatment.
Methods: Fourteen patients with periodontal disease were treated and evaluated for the following parameters: plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), clinical attachment loss (CAL) and keratinized mucosa (KM). Parameters were compared between abutment teeth with direct and indirect retainers at all time-points.
