Background. Human longevity has increased throughout all developed countries in the world, including Poland. In an aging population it is important to ensure adequate oral health for future generations as prevention and treatment methods adopted so far may soon appear insufficient. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess whether social and behavioral factors, i.e. education, smoking, occupational activity, alcohol consumption, sports activity and perceived health influence tooth loss, functional dentition, oral hygiene, and periodontal health. Material and Methods. The study involved 1008 Krakow residents (478 men and 530 women), between the age from 50-75 years. Information on age, education, occupational activity, alcohol consumption, perceived health, smoking status, sports activities was collected by the interview using standard questionnaire. Oral examinations were carried out according to the WHO recommendations. Two definitions of poor functional dentition (FD) were used, i.e. having less than 20 teeth and having less than 4 pairs of contacting teeth. Pocket depths (PD) were measured using Hu-Friedy periodontal probe type PCPUNC15. Oral hygiene was assessed using Plaque Index (PI) by Silness & Löe.Results. There were 16% edentulous men and women. After adjustment for covariates, persons with low education had more than seven times higher prevalence of having poor FD in women and twice higher prevalence in men compared to persons with university education (OR = 7.05 95% CI: 2.50-19.82 and OR = 2.18 95% CI: 1.18-4.02 respectively). Smoking was strongly related to the prevalence of edentulism and to the prevalence of having no FD both in men and women. After adjustment for covariates, former male smokers and current female smokers had about twice higher prevalence of periodontal disease. Conclusions. Low education and tobacco smoking appeared to be the factors strongly and independently associated with poor oral hygiene and health. Relations between oral health and other socioeconomic and behavioral factors were weaker and they were attenuated after adjustment to age, education and smoking (Dent. Med. Probl. 2016, 53, 1, 66-77).

“…Loss of teeth progresses during the course of life [3,4] due to the destruction of teeth by caries, disease and the loss of tooth supporting tissues due to periodontal disease. Gradual tooth loss causes successive reduction in chewing ability.…”

“…Additionally, most studies addressing tooth loss in adolescents do not include the assessment of its impact on quality of life. Most studies assessing tooth loss are performed in adult or elderly population, who present higher experience of tooth loss (8,31). One systematic review showed that the lower the number of present teeth, the higher the impact on quality of life, especially when the number of remaining teeth in less than 20 (1).…”

This study aimed to assess the impact of oral health on the quality of life of adolescents. A cross-sectional study was performed with students from public and private schools from Passo Fundo, Brazil. All students were aged between 15 and 19 years old. The proportional random sample consisted of 736 adolescents from 20 schools. A structured questionnaire was applied, and an oral examination was performed, counting the number of teeth. Oral health-related quality of life was assessed by OHIP-14. Associations between quality of life and associated factors were analyzed. The mean OHIP-14 score was 7.25. Age, ethnicity and studying in a public school were associated to the OHIP-14 score. Tooth loss (p=0.79) was not associated with quality of life. Additionally, questions related to appearance, such as whether teeth appearance bothers the adolescent (p=0.68) were not associated with quality of life. Attending a public school (OR=1.63; CI95%: 0.98-2.70) and self-reported halitosis (OR=1.48; CI95%: 1.01-2.16) were strongly associated to higher impact on quality of life. It was concluded that socioeconomic conditions and halitosis were associated to higher impact on quality of life of adolescents O r a l H e

“…The comparison of selected oral health related behaviors of the elderly with foreign regional surveys and national research is presented in Table 8. 10,31,50,[58][59][60] Basically, it is concluded by comparison that the awareness of Polish young seniors of the need to clean interdental spaces, that is to perform a prophylactic procedure extremely important in caries and periodontitis prevention, is the lowest. Americans lead in cleaning interdental spaces and Germans have dental appointments most regularly -currently 90% of dental patients make appointments to check oral health.…”
