“…The study also, revealed a lack of awareness and needs to educate the population, which is in line with the results of the present study. In the examined population, the incidence of partial edentulism was 125 (62.5%) (Table2), which indicates that there was very highly significant difference in young female patients having been missing teeth, which is consistent with a study done by Sapkota b et al Who observed that females were more edentulous compared to males but at the same time, they show a higher level of replacement of missing teeth (Sapkota B et al 2013) [16]. This may be due to their dependency upon the males for their dental treatment to save the teeth.…”

Background: Edentulism and number of remaining teeth per capita are commonly used as main indicators of dental health status in national surveys. Objectives: To determine the level of tooth loss and the most common arch affected, to find the out awareness level of replacement of missing teeth with different prosthetic types and to evaluate the correlation between educational level and tooth loss. Subjects and methods: This was cross-sectional clinical examination, and questionnaire based study, examining the prosthetic status of young females and their level of awareness to replace missing teeth. Using the sample size calculator with the confidence interval of 95% and significance of p<0.05, the sample size was calculated to be 200. The inclusion criteria were female patients visiting Qassim Dental Clinics and primary health care centers, aged between 19-39 years. Data was processed and analyzed through SPSS. Results: The incidences of partial edentulism were 62.5% and the highest level of missing teeth was found among young females who have college and postgraduate degree, which was 52.8%. The restored cases were only16% out of the affected cases. There was a lack of awareness 39.2% to restore missing teeth among study population. The most important cause of loss teeth among the studied population of young females of Qassim was caries 90.4%. Conclusion:The study revealed that young females were concerned about their esthetics than other functions of the masticatory system. This can also be supported with the fact that missing mandible posterior teeth were found to be the most common amongst them. Present study showed that awareness level and motivation were significantly low to restore missing teeth. It also revealed that educational status was not the only predictor of health outcomes.

“…Partial edentulism and its patterns of occurrence have been studied in different countries in various selected populations by correlating between several parameters and the influencing factors such as socioeconomic status, educational status, age, and gender. [1,[4][5][6] There are studies which have analyzed the treatment needs and awareness regarding edentulousness in the screened populations.

Background: The pattern of partial edentulism has been studied in different countries in various selected populations by correlating between several parameters and the influencing factors such as socioeconomic status, educational status, age, and gender. Education is an important factor associated with the awareness of dental disease and its treatment needs. Aim: The present survey was conducted to assess the prevalence of partial edentulousness and awareness of its prosthodontic treatment needs based on the educational status in rural population of southwest coastal Karnataka and Kerala. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients reporting with request for removable prostheses were randomly selected and included in the study after obtaining the consent from the Institutional Ethics Committee. The patients were categorized into three groups as, below 10 th Grade, 10 th Grade to II pre-university college (PUC) and graduation and above. Subjects having edentulous space were further grouped according to Kennedy's Classification. The data were recorded and then analyzed using Chi-square test. Results: Among the 100 subjects evaluated, 55 subjects were male and 45 were females. 46 subjects were below 10 th standard grade, 16 were between 10 th and II PUC and 38 were graduation and above group. Prosthodontic treatment need awareness was highest in Class III Kennedy's Classification of partial edentulous space in both maxillary and mandibular arches. The maximum awareness about the implant placement for the treatment of partial edentulousness was among the graduation group. The awareness regarding the effect of missing teeth was high among the graduation and above group. Conclusion: Under the limitations of this study, it was found that the percentage of awareness of various prosthodontic treatment need increased as the subjects educational status increased. Clinical Significance: Educational status of an individual has a huge impact on the overall general awareness of one's health needs and the treatment options available. Therefore, it justifies there is a greater need to educate not only the younger generation but also the elderly and less privileged, regarding the importance of oral health.

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACTBackground and reasons: Edentulousness falls in a special category among the various conditions of dental origin. People living in rural areas may follow a form of healthcare based on ancient traditions, beliefs and cultural habits. A major challenge for the dentist will be to plan oral healthcare for this group of patients, and their acceptance of treatment for their welfare. Partial edentulism is an indication of unhealthy dental practices in the society and attitude towards dental and oral care. This study is done to create awareness of partial edentulism and the need for tooth replacements among people.Objective: To conduct a survey to assess the awareness of partial edentulism and tooth replacements in rural population in Kancheepuram. Methodology: A cross sectional study was done by conducting a survey consisting of 10 questions were asked among 100 people aged between 18-65 in rural districts of Kancheepuram. Results: It was seen that 64% of the participants were aware of tooth replacements and 36 % were not aware of them. Though 81% are ready to accept prosthodontic treatment, 19% declined prosthodontic treatment stating unawareness, cost factor, lack of facilities as the reasons, of which unawareness (55%) was the major reason stated by the participants. Conclusion:This study showed the inadequate awareness of prosthodontic rehabilitation among the people and people should be educated about the need for prosthodontic treatment.
