Alveolar ridge defect may occur due to injury,trauma,normal healing after extraction, denture wear and periodontitis. Based on sibert's classification, it can be classified into three classes: class I (buccolingual loss of tissue), class II (apico coronal loss of tissue) and class III (both loss of tissue). It is important to close the ridge defect by replacing the tooth loss and to achieve good esthetic, phonetic and mastication. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of alveolar ridge defects using seibert's classification among partially edentulous patients. This study was conducted in a university setting among the outpatient population of a dental college. We reviewed patients records and analysed the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020. 32,837 patients data were included from 86000 patients and were assessed and the data was tabulated in excel and later was imported to SPSS software by IBM and descriptive statistics were done and results were analysed graphically. The statistical analysis were performed using chi-square test.Based on the results, 50.5% males, 51.4% females and 40% transgender have class I alveolar ridge defects; 0.7% male, 0.8% females and 0% transgender have class II alveolar ridge defects; 1.3 % males, 1.4% females and 0% transgenders have class III alveolar ridge defects; 47.5% males, 46.4% females and 60% transgender have normal edentulous ridge.To conclude, the Sibert's classification helps in suggesting a proper treatment plan for the patient to ensure that the treatment outcomes turn out to be successful.
