“…A possible explanation is that men tend to have a poorer nutritional status than women [30], while wearing dentures could effectively improve nutritional intake [31]; Therefore men are likely to have more benefits from denture use. Additionally, previous studies have shown that men are less active in social participation than women [32], while wearing dentures can encourage social participation [33]; Thus, it is expected that men will benefit more from denture placement. Only one prior study investigated denture use and mortality by sex.…”

Background: The associations between the number of natural teeth/denture use and all-cause mortality remain unclear due to lake of investigation for the potential interaction between tooth loss and denture use and for the potential changes in these exposures over time in older adults. We undertake this study to evaluate the associations of the number of natural teeth and/or denture use with mortality in Chinese elderly. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 36,283 older adults (median age: 90). The number of natural teeth and denture use were collected with structured questionnaire. We evaluated hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) using a Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for demographic factors, education, income, lifestyle factors, and comorbidities. Results: We documented 25,857 deaths during 145,947 person-years of observation. Compared to those with 20+ teeth, tooth loss was associated with a gradual increase in mortality, with an adjusted HR of 1.14 (95% CI, 1.06 to 1.23) for those with 10-19 teeth, 1.23 (95% CI, 1.15 to 1.31) for those with 1-9 teeth, and 1.35 (95% CI, 1.26 to 1.44) for those without natural teeth. Denture use was associated with lower risk of mortality (adjusted HR 0.81; 95% CI, 0.77 to 0.84). Subgroup analyses indicated that the benefit of denture use was greater in men than in women (P = 0.02) and tended to decrease with age (P < 0.001). The effects of denture use did not differ among various degrees of tooth loss (P = 0.17). Conclusions: Tooth loss was associated with an increased risk of mortality in older adults. Denture use provided a protective effect against death for all degrees of tooth loss however, this effect appeared to be modified by sex and age.

“…With the loss of occluding pairs of teeth, there is a diminished ability to chew, a potential for limiting food choices, and a potential for poor nutrition . Having teeth removed also may affect aesthetics, the ability to speak, and the ability to obtain work and may give rise to embarrassment . Researchers reported that having teeth removed is associated with lower quality of life (QOL), particularly oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQOL) .…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the association between participants 1) who reported having had clinical diagnoses of depression and anxiety with 6+ teeth removed and 2) who reported having had clinical diagnoses of depression and anxiety with edentulism. Methods The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Survey 2010 was used for the study. Analyses involved using SAS 9.3 to determine variable frequencies, Rao–Scott chi-square bivariate analyses, and Proc Surveylogistic for the logistic regressions on complex survey designs. Participants eligibility included being 18 years or older and having complete data on depression, anxiety, and number of teeth removed. Results There were 76 292 eligible participants; 13.4% reported an anxiety diagnosis, 16.7% reported a depression diagnosis, and 8.6% reported comorbid depression and anxiety. The adjusted logistic regression models were significant for anxiety and depression alone and in combination for 6+ teeth removed (AOR: anxiety 1.23; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.38; P = 0.0773; AOR: depression 1.23; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.37; P = 0.0275; P < 0.0001; and AOR: comorbid depression and anxiety 1.30; 95% CI: 1.14, 1.49; P = 0.0001). However, the adjusted models with edentulism as the outcome failed to reach significance. Conclusions Comorbid depression and anxiety are associated independently with 6+ teeth removed compared with 0–5 teeth removed in a national study conducted in United States. Comorbid depression and anxiety were not shown to be associated with edentulism as compared with any teeth present.

“…10 A similar study analyzed 27 patients from the age group 60 to 84 where the GOHAI score was seen to be increased from 27.48 to 30.19 (p = 0.002), which was highly significant. 1 Another study examined 63 patients from the age group 60 to 82, where the GOHAI score was seen to be increased from 28.90 ± 7.28 to 42.19 ± 7.60 (p-value < 0.001), which was highly significant 11 ; whereas the present study examined 50 patients from the age group 60 to 82, where the GOHAI score was seen to be increased from 22.30 ± 1.67 to 27.48 ± 1.13 (p-value < 0.000), which was highly significant.…”

Context: Oral conditions and their impacts on quality of life (QoL) are now important as a tool to evaluate patients' perception of treatment offered to them. There are various indexes used as a tool to assess the QoL of the individual. The general oral health assessment index (GOHAI) is a proven and reliable index to assess the oral health and its impact on oral healthrelated quality of life (OHRQoL). Aim:To evaluate the effect of complete denture rehabilitation on OHRQoL in completely edentulous patients. Settings and design:The study compares the improvement of OHRQoL of 50 completely edentulous patients enrolled in the study, after rehabilitation of them with conventional complete dentures. Materials and methods:Hindi version of the GOHAI was used as evaluation tool for OHRQoL. Statistical analysis:Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied to assess changes in GOHAI score before and after rehabilitation with a complete denture. Results:The GOHAI score was seen to be increased from 22.30 ± 1.67 to 27.48 ± 1.13 (p-value < 0.000), which was highly significant. Conclusion:The GOHAI is an example of a patient-based assessment of oral health problems commonly affecting older adults. The GOHAI assessment indicates improvement in chewing. The highest change between pre-and postinsertion scores was 92.75% for biting or chewing any kind of food.
