The prosthetic considerations for partially edentulous patients involve evaluation of important aspects such as location and extent of edentulous areas. A comprehensive evaluation, and treatment planning is necessary for a successful outcome. Hence, the clinician should possess detailed and thorough clinical knowledge regarding patterns of partial edentulism.The aim of this study was to retrospectively determine the prevalence and pattern of edentulous space according to ACP classification in patients undergoing full mouth rehabilitation treatment. The data was collected from the case records of 51 patients requiring full mouth rehabilitation. Evaluation of the case record was done and marked on the Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index checklist (according to the American College of Prosthodontists). Chi-square test was applied to see associations of ACP Classes with age and gender. The results showed positive correlation between the variables with P value < 0.05. 76.5% of the patients were categorized as ACP Class- I; 5.9% as Class-II; 15.7% as Class-III; and 2% as Class IV. Class I was found to be the most prevalent in age groups between 20-30 years (66.7%), 40-50 years(100%), 50-60 years (78.6%) and 60-70 years (81.2%). Class I and Class III were common in 30-40 years (42.9%). Occurrence of Class I with 70.8%, Class II and Class III with 12.5% and 4.2% in Class IV was observed in male patients and Class I with 81.5%, Class III with 18.5% for female patients. This study concludes that ACP Class I was the most commonly occurring and was found to be predominant in all age groups and a decreased occurrence of Class IV. The number of female patients requiring full mouth rehabilitation is more than the male patients. Elderly patients needed full mouth reconstruction than the younger population.
