“…In 2004, Brazilian NOHP established a prostheses policy for all Brazilians, 13 and more recent studies have demonstrated a decrease in prostheses need among Brazilian elders. 24,25,26 Better funding, more equipment, and more dental personnel can be associated with such improvement. 24 However, despite their growing number and vulnerability, no Brazilian national oral survey of institutionalized elders has been conducted to identify the need for such prostheses.…”

“…2,27 However, despite greater use, the need for prostheses in women is also influenced by construction, adaptation, and maintenance flaws. 24,25 Extant literature states that people with higher education have lower need for prostheses and that oral health-related knowledge influences oral healthcare positively. 11,28 Such findings could not be confirmed in this study.…”

Use and need of removable dental prostheses in an institutionalized Brazilian elderly population: a cross-sectional study

The aim of this study was to assess the use and need of conventional removable prostheses (total and partial) and their associated factors among institutionalized elders. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1003 elderly people living in non-profit private long-term care institutions in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Inclusion criteria required a minimum Mini Mental State of Examination (MMSE) score of 21. After the test, 191 individuals were included. Oral examination and interviews were conducted to identify participants' use (throughout the day/every day) and need (do not have/have but do not use) of removable dental prostheses. Socioeconomic health indicators and behaviours were collected from institutional records and via interviews. Bivariate analysis was performed using chi-square test (p<0.05). Poisson regression with robust variance was used in multivariate analysis. Most elders were female (76.4%) and independent in their daily activities (56.5%). Elderly men (PR 1.26) and those whose dental visit was more than one year ago (PR 1.38) showed higher need of dental prostheses. Elderly women (PR 1.68) and individuals with morbidities (PR 1.33) had higher prostheses use. This study demonstrates how socio-demographic characteristics, health indicators, and oral health services impact the use and need of dental prostheses among elders and how these can contribute to public oral health policy development.

“…12 Furthermore, dental extractions (18.8%) and dental pain (5.6%) comprised the primary reasons for dental appointments in this age group. 14 Studies have shown that edentulism can be a predictor of all-cause mortality in older adults, 15 whereas poor oral health might increase the risk of frailty among older male adults. 16 Moreover, evidence suggests that oral frailty might be associated with social and physical function in communitydwelling older adults 9 and that poor oral health and sociodemographic characteristics can negatively impact oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults.…”

Frailty and oral health-related quality of life in community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2021

Poor oral health has been associated with frailty among older adults. However, limited evidence has been available on whether frailty can affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between frailty and OHRQoL among community-dwelling older adults. A household-based cross-sectional study involving community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older was conducted in the city of Bauru, Brazil. Data on frailty status, sociodemographic characteristics, self-perceived dental care needs, and OHRQoL (OHIP-14) were collected through individual interviews. The use of and the need for total dental prostheses were assessed through clinical examinations. Logistic regression was used to determine whether frailty status and covariates were associated with OHRQoL prevalence measures (OHIP-14 total score ≥ 1 and OHIP-14 fairly/very often ≥ 1). The sample comprised 334 participants, among whom 58.7% and 41.3% were between 65-74 and 75-102 years old, respectively. The prevalence of moderate to severe frailty was 12.3%. Moderate to severe frailty (OR = 4.49; 95%CI 1.29-15.66), the need for lower dental prosthesis (OR = 2.20; 95%CI 1.27-3.81), and self-perceived dental care need (OR = 3.90; 95%CI 2.14-7.14) were associated with OHIP-14 total score ≥1. Moderate to severe frailty (OR = 2.95; 95%CI 1.33-6.55), being female (OR = 2.24; 95%CI 1.34-3.75), and self-perceived dental care need (OR = 4.80; 95%CI 2.86-8.03) were associated with OHIP-14 fairly/very often ≥1. Overall, our results showed that moderate to severe frailty was significantly associated with poor OHRQoL in community-dwelling older adults.
