Objectives To estimate the incidence of the need for a dental prosthesis during early adulthood and its association with socioeconomic and oral disorder trajectories. Methods In 1982, in the city of Pelotas, all live births (n = 5914) and their mothers were assessed. A representative sample of this cohort study was examined for oral health conditions at 15, 24 and 31 years (Oral Health Study–OHS). The need for a dental prosthesis was assessed at 24 and 31 years of age, and variables of interest (gender, skin colour, socioeconomic status (SES), use of dental services, caries and periodontal disease) were collected from different waves of this cohort. Longitudinal association between outcome and variables of interest was assessed using multilevel mixed models. Results A total of 539 individuals were assessed in 2013 (60.7% response rate). The need for a dental prosthesis was 28.9% at 24 years. (95% CI 24.9‐33.2) and 49.0% at 31 years (95% CI 44.7‐53.3). Risk of presenting with a need for a dental prosthesis was higher in users of public services. Downwardly mobile and lower SES trajectory groups presented a higher risk of the need for a dental prosthesis. High‐risk caries trajectory group showed a higher risk of presenting with the need for a dental prosthesis from 24 to 31 years. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that the need for dental prosthesis from 24 to 31 years old was determined by trajectories of exposure during the life cycle, reinforcing that tackling socioeconomic inequalities at any stage of life can have an effect on an individual's oral health.

“…Oral health diseases are extremely prevalent in the worldwide population and are considered a public health issue 1 . Dental caries is the main oral condition affecting schoolchildren 2,3 and is the main reason for dental restoration failure 4 , tooth loss and the need for dental prostheses 5,6 . It is estimated that around 621 million children are affected by dental caries in the primary dentition 7 .…”

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the association between oral health and academic performance and/or school absenteeism. Methods: Electronic searches were performed of the PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS and LILACS/BVS databases. We included observational studies that evaluated the association between dental caries, tooth loss, dental pain or oral health status with school absenteeism or academic performance. The studies had to contain a representative sample of the population: schoolchildren, children or adolescents. After the removal of duplicates, the electronic searches produced 3,789 articles. Of these, 25 studies were included in the systematic review and 13 in the meta-analysis. Results: Considering all the studies evaluated in the meta-analysis, seven articles satisfied 100% of the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal checklist, and six contained between 90% and 75% positive answers. The pooled effects showed that the chances of school absenteeism were 31% higher in subjects with dental caries (OR 1.31; 95%CI 1.12-1.54). Students with fair/poor dental health had a 50% higher chance of suffering poor academic performance (OR 1.50; 95%CI 1.22-1.84) and 34% higher chance of having problems at school (OR 1.34; 95%CI 1.06-1.70). Students with a history of toothache had a 3.7 higher chance of being absent from school (OR 6.65; 95%CI 1.60-8.32) and 71% higher chance of missing class due to toothache (OR 1.71; 95%CI 1.15-2.56). Subjects with a history of toothache had a 2.5 times higher chance of suffering poor academic performance (OR 2.58; 95% CI 2.04-3.27). Conclusion: Therefore, students with oral problems were more likely to take time off school and present inferior academic performance.

“…The edentulism presents elevate prevalence [1,2] mainly due to caries [3] and periodontal disease [4] and its treatment with dental implants is today one of the most predictable and successful treatments. Dental implants are a well acceptable treatment to recover partial and fully edentulous patients [5,6], showing high clinical survival, ranging from 96.4% [7] to 88% [8] in periods between 10 to 23 years [8][9][10][11][12].…”
