Introduction: Statistic distribution of Kennedy's classifications and tooth loss among general population are important reasons to assess the dentures needs and impact of preventive dentistry in any society. Aim: To determine the frequency and pattern of Kennedys classification among Jazan population in relation to different age group, gender, sites and causes of tooth loss. Material and methods: The data was collected between May 2014 and May 2015 from patients who required removable partial dentures. Clinical intra-oral and radiographic examinations were done, then the data were registered and the Kennedy classes and causes of teeth loss were recorded. The number of subjects participated were 339 male and 240 female. They were divided into five groups, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and ≥ 60 years respectively. All relevant data were entered into SPSS program and analyzed accordingly using Fisher exact test. Results: The highest number of patients among males and females were in age group of 50-59 year. Kennedy's class III was the highest among all age groups. In males, class III Kennedy classification was the highest in both arches, while class I was the highest in female. Periodontal disease was the major cause of tooth loss in both genders, followed by dental caries. A combination of both causes was founded in less than 10% of subjects. There were significant differences between all groups. The obtained P values were statistically significant (p<.000). Conclusion: Kennedys Class III had highest frequency in males in all age groups and in both arches whereas in females, Kennedys class I was the highest. Periodontal disease was the most common cause of tooth loss in all genders followed by dental caries.

“…This wide age range may explain the difference in the clinical findings. The literature displays edentulous prevalence of 20–45.3% in a variety of studies (Eachempati et al, 2013; Lo, Yan & Dyson, 2004; Peltola, Vehkalahti & Wuolijoki-Saaristo, 2004; Simunković et al, 2005). The WHO published comprehensive study presenting major differences between countries in prevalence of edentulousness among elderlies (Petersen & Yamamoto, 2005).…”

Background. Many Long-Term Care (LTC) institutionalized patients are the most frail and functionally dependent among the geriatric population and have significant oral health disparities.They often suffer from dental neglect due to limited access to appropriate professional dental care. These patients have chronic health situations and are treated with medications, which increase their risk of oral diseases. Despite the growth in elderly population in Israel, there is insufficient data regarding their oral health status and treatment needs.Objective. To describe the oral health status of the LTC hospitalized adults in a geriatric and psychiatric hospital in Israel.Methods. Data was recorded from LTC hospitalized adults with a physical and/or mental disabilities in a cross-sectional research design, which included general health anamnesis and clinical oral examination. Variables included gender, medicines, oral hygiene (OH), using dentures, number of caries lesions and residual teeth. Univariate analyses included Pearson χ2 and t-test analyses. Multivariate analyses included logistic and linear regressions while the outcome variables were categorical OH index and number of carious cavitations, number of residual teeth and carious teeth percentage.Results. 153 participants were included in the study with a mean age of 65.03 ± 18.67 years. 31.3% of the patients were edentulous, and only 14% had partial or full dentures. Females had a significantly higher number of caries cavitation than males (P = 0.044). The number of caries cavitation was higher among patients with poor OH (P < 0.001) and when taking Clonazepam (P = 0.018). Number of residual teeth was higher in the fair OH group (P < 0.001). Carious teeth percentage was higher among the poor OH group (P < 0.001).

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDProsthodontic needs are the determinants of tooth rehabilitation as tooth replacement is important to restore the vital functions of the teeth like mastication, aesthetics, phonetics etc., finally contributing to better quality of life. Estimating the prosthodontic needs is essential for planning prosthodontic service for the given population. Thus, the present study aims to assess the prosthodontic needs among the adults of Hubli city and to know its association with the selected sociodemographic parameters like age, gender, educational level, occupation and diet. METHODSA total of 685 adult subjects was included for the study. House to house survey was conducted and information on prosthodontic needs and sociodemographic variables were gathered by interview and clinical examination method. Collected data was analysed by descriptive statistics and chi-square test. RESULTSOut of 685 subjects, 56.3% are males and 43.6% are females. 44.8% required prosthetic teeth among which 31.3% needed upper arch teeth and 36% were in need of lower teeth. Prosthetic needs were more among females (50.1%), 59-65 years old (88.5%), with primary education (56.9%), married people (49.1%), Hindus (45.8%), farmers (68.4%) and among vegetarians (47.7%). Chi-square results showed that, prosthodontic needs are significantly associated with sex (p= .013), age (p=.000), marital status (p= .000) and occupation (p= .000). CONCLUSIONSProsthodontic needs are more among the adults of Hubli region indicating a negative attitude towards tooth retention. Hence, public should be made aware of maintaining healthy teeth and preventing the teeth loss. Further, people of Hubli area should be encouraged to get the teeth replacement at the earliest. Also, there is a need to implement affordable and accessible prosthodontic care for this population as nearly half of the adults need teeth prosthesis.
