“…According to the another study conducted by Yadav et al (2016) among institutionalized elderly in Delhi in which the prosthetic status and needs were determined, about 25% of participants required prosthesis as compared to 88% in the present study. 22 This reflects the difference between prosthetic needs of healthy and head and neck cancer irradiated individuals. The higher prosthetic needs in cancer irradiated patients may be attributed to the pathologic process of cancer as well as conditions such as xerostomia that lead to enhanced tooth loss after cancer radiotherapy.…”

The mean age of the study participants was 47.68 + 10.26 years. Stage 1 carcinoma was diagnosed in 69 (57.5%) of the participants while stage 2 carcinoma was diagnosed in 51 (42.5%) . Out of 120 individuals, 7 (5.8%) needed single unit prosthesis, 33 (27.5%) needed multi-unit prosthesis, 48 (40%) needed a combination of a single and multi-unit prosthesis, and 18 (15%) needed a full prosthesis.

“…14,15 Aging is also associated with lower adherence to use of a prosthesis over time, commonly because of failures in the preparation, adaptation and/or maintenance of the prosthesis. 16,17 Socioeconomic factors were associated with the need for a complete denture in one arch and/or both, since a population with lower household income, less education, and a below average number of household goods, has a higher chance of the need for upper and lower complete dentures. This finding is corroborated by Matsuyama,18 carried out with older people, which demonstrated an association between denture use and economic status, and which leads us to consider that socioeconomic conditions reverberate in the living and health conditions of the population, including oral health.…”

This study aimed to identify factors associated with the need for complete dentures in one dental arch or both, among the elderly population. The cross-sectional household study was conducted with a representative sample of elderly people (65 years or older) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2015. The dependent variable was the need for complete dentures (in one arch or both), and independent variables were socioeconomic and demographic conditions, social capital, self-perception of oral health and access to dental services. Simple and multinomial logistic regression models tested effect measures (p < 0.05). A total of 5,948 elderly people participated. Results indicated that those with greater chances of needing a complete denture in one arch were male (

“…This has led to increased number of elderly population and has further offered the dental health-care professionals to observe exceptional challenges to treat this section of elderly. 1 It is an established fact that loss of teeth has a negative impact on the oral health as well as the emotional well being of an individual. 2 It has been reported that one's general health is related to oral health and general health is related to quality of life, tooth loss could have an impact on quality of life.…”

BACKGROUND: Oral diseases among elderly can directly affect their Quality of Life. AIM: To assess the prosthodontic status of people visiting a dental clinic in a south Indian city. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The present study is an attempt to study the prosthodontic status of people attending a private clinic in Delhi from August to November 2021. Data was collected with the help of WHO Oral Health Assessment Form (2004) and survey was conducted as per guidelines of American Dental Association for Type III examination. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 23.0. RESULTS: Out of 384 study subjects, 30.2% were completely dentulous, 17.8% were completely edentulous and rest were partially edentulous for the maxillary arch. While 14.8% were completely dentulous, 12.4% were completely edentulous and 72.8% were partially edentulous for the mandibular arch. Prosthodontic status for both the maxillary and mandibular arches. CONCLUSION: The study population had a poor prosthodontics status. High cost of prosthetic treatment, lack of availability of skilled healthcare professionals, poor infrastructure and the general attitude of the population towards replacement of missing teeth are the major hindrances in the way of healthcare delivery system in our country. This has lead to the poor prosthodontic status in general population.
