The study was performed in a university setting, it reviewedpatient records and analysed the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020. A total of about450 entries were selected. Of this after removing multiple entries a total of 372 patients data were obtained.The collected data were compiled and tabulated using Microsoft Excel, then reviewed and exported to SPSSfor performing statistical analysis. In the study a total of 5 parameters were considered, but only for oneparameter a statistically significant data was found, and this was the demographic profile of the completelyedentulous patients, p value was found to be 0.0052 (p =0.005) hence proving the data to be significant.For the rest of the parameters the study considered, a statistically significant data was not obtained, butthe data has remarkable clinical significance. In the study, completely edentulous male population were,56%, the female population represented 43%. 27% of the completely edentulous patients in the study werehypertensive and that is not a negligible count.
