“…A gender difference in the prevalence of FPDs has earlier been shown in a study in the United Kingdom (5). Although the prevalence levels were also found to be higher among women in the present study, the association with gender was not confirmed in the multivariate analysis.…”

“…While tooth loss has long been considered an inevitable part of the ageing process, changes in dental treatment patterns have occurred in the 20th century. In the study performed in United Kingdom in 1998 middle-aged dentate adults (45-64 years) had more crowns than other age groups (5). The authors predict that there would be an increasing proportion of elderly dentate people with increasing demanding dental services in the future.…”

“…In United Kingdom, it has been shown that although the prevalence of crowns has increased over the years in all social groups, patients with higher education tend to have more crowns than those with lower education (5). The level of education may reflect the patients' attitudes to dental care, including their acceptance of dental care and their preference for treatment modalities (preventive and restorative treatment).…”

The epidemiology of oral rehabilitation using fixed prosthodontics has received little attention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of single crowns, fixed partial dentures (FPDs), resin-bonded FPDs and implants in elderly Finnish patients and to identify factors that might be associated with the findings. The survey was carried out in the southern and northern parts of Finland. The target population consisted of all persons born in 1919, 1922, 1925, 1928, 1931, 1934 and 1937, who lived in Kirkkonummi and in Lakeus (n=1733) in 1996. The age range of the subjects was 60-78years. In addition to a clinical examination, panoramic radiograph was taken. Data on background factors were obtained using questionnaires and/or interviews. The presence of single crowns, FPDs, resin-bonded FPDs and implants were determined from the panoramic radiographs. Overall, 12·4% of men and 12·1% of women had single crowns, while 4·8% of men and 8·0% of women had FPDs. A logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of crowns and FPDs was significantly associated with a southern place of residence, high and middle levels of education and high frequency of dental visits.

“…In addition to dentate people having a greater number of teeth, substantially more people overall have any teeth. 15 Historically, this generation of people had higher dental disease levels, and, therefore, many of the teeth that have been retained required restoration. According to Pine et al, 15 one-third of dentate adults in the United Kingdom had at least 1 crowned tooth.…”

“…The majority of European dental hygienists provide care on an individual basis in dental or dental hygiene clinics ⁄ offices ⁄ practices and, aside from their preventive orientation, they increasingly serve the high maintenance 'heavy metal generation', the growing number of persons who have maintained a functional but heavily restored dentition as a consequence of complex restorative dentistry including crown-and bridgework and dental implants (14). Life expectancy is increasing and teeth are more likely to be retained.…”

: Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in dental hygienists’ education and regulation in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) to examine whether, since 2003, there has been harmonization in dental hygiene education. Methods: Information and data were obtained via piloted questionnaires and structured interviews with delegates from the International and European Dental Hygienists’ Federations and representatives of the Council of European Chief Dental Officers and by literature review. Results: In the EU/EEA, dental hygienists are legally recognized in 22 countries. Since 2003, there has been an increase in the number of Bachelor degree programmes and in autonomous practice. Entry to the profession is now exclusively via a Bachelor degree in five EU/EEA Member States and pending in two more. Ten Member States have adapted their degree programmes to the European Credit Transfer System. Two Member States combine education for dental hygienists and dental therapists. However, dental hygienists are not recognized by EU law and in five Members States, the introduction of the profession has been opposed by dental associations. Conclusions: For the reasons of wide variations in the standards of preventive care and periodontal therapies, the formal recognition of the dental hygiene profession by EU legislation and agreement on a pan‐European curriculum for dental hygiene education leading to defined professional competencies and learning outcomes is required. To achieve this, there is a need for a better collaboration between competent authorities including governments, universities and dental and dental hygienists’ associations.
