Teeth used as direct or in direct retainers for the removable partial denture were considered as the study group, while the remaining dentition in the same jaw was considered as the control group.

A significant difference in clinical attachment level and plaque accumulation was detected between study and control group of teeth. In addition there was a statistically significant difference in all periodontal parameters between regular and irregular attendants Results: Among the 100 patient, 30 were regular attendants.
