The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of Temporary Partial Dentures (TPD) in the patients undergoing treatment for partial edentulism. This study was an institution based analysis carried out in university hospitals located in south India. The study was carried out by collecting the data of patients undergoing TPD treatment from the months of June 2019-March 2020, the collected data were analysed and tabulated. The total number of patients who received TPD were 1095. The results showed males (619 patients) prefer TPD treatment more than females (476 patients) and patients between the age group of 41-50 years prefer TPD prosthetic treatment. Within the limitations of the study it can be concluded that more number of male patients underwent replacement of missing teeth with TPD than females. Majority of the TPD patients were in the age group of 41 to 60 years. With the increase in age, the number of patients who underwent replacement of missing teeth with TPD significantly increased among male and female population. Among the female population the trend decreased after 50 years of age and among males the trend decreased after 60 years of age.
