- Abstract
This was part of a larger study titled, "CLINICAL AND GENETIC STUDIES IN FAMILIES WITH TOOTH AGENESIS". The traditional perception regarding the tooth replacement has been changed tremendously over a short period of time. It is the need of the hour to re-evaluate the changing perceptions and trends of the patients. The objectives of the study were to render valuable information to practitioners and research workers to improve their services and to educate the community regarding oral health. It was a descriptive study and relied on a retrospective data of three months (Jan- Mar 2014) from OPD of prosthodontics department of Islamic International Dental College, Islamabad. There were 1518 patients that formed the study group and showed an increased treatment trend of removable prostheses rather than the fixed prosthesis.
