“…The decreased tooth loss in adolescents and adults observed over the last ten years indicates, possibly, a combination of the cohort effect, improvements in socioeconomic conditions, especially in education, 16 and in the health care system with the fl uoridation of tap water and widespread use of fl uoridated toothpastes. In the 1980s and 90s these two measures achieved broad coverage of the population and largely explain the reduction in the prevalence of dental caries, the principal cause of tooth loss, in Brazil.…”

“…15,18 Epidemiological studies show that tooth loss constitutes a marker of social inequality in diverse societies; population groups at the bottom of the socioeconomic hierarchy have higher rates of tooth loss than those situated at the top of the scale. 3,6,7,15,16 In Brazil, the national oral health survey in 1986 revealed that, for adolescents (aged [15][16][17][18][19]) the mean number of teeth lost was 1.9, representing 15.2% of the DMFT (decayed, missing and fi lled teeth) index. For adults aged 35-44, the rate was 14.9 (66.5%) and it was 23.4 (86%) of the index for individuals aged between 50 and 59.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the mean number of missing teeth, lack of functional dentition and total tooth loss (edentulism) among adolescents, adults and the elderly in Brazil, comparing the results with those of 2003. METHODS:Data from 5,445 adolescents aged 15-19, 9,779 adults aged 35-44 and 7,619 elderly individuals aged 65-74, participants in the Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil) 2010, were analyzed. The mean missing teeth, proportion of lack of functional dentition (< 21 natural teeth) and proportion of edentulism (total tooth loss) were estimated for each age group, each state Capital and each macro region. Multivariable logistic regression (tooth loss) and Poisson (absence of functional dentition and edentulism) analyses were performed in order to identify socioeconomic factors and demographic characteristics associated with each outcome. RESULTS:The prevalence of tooth loss among adolescents was 17.4% (38.9% in 2002-03) ranging from 8.1% among those earning higher income to almost 30% among those with less schooling. Among adolescents, females, those with black or brown skin and those with the lowest levels of income and schooling had a higher prevalence of tooth loss. Lack of functional dentition affected nearly ¼ of adults, it was higher among women, among those with black and brown skin and among those with the lowest levels of income and schooling. Mean missing teeth in adults decreased from 13.5 in 2002-03 to 7.4 in 2010. More than half of elderly is edentulous (similar to the 2002-03 fi ndings); higher prevalence of edentulism was found among women and those with the lowest levels of income and schooling. Among adolescents the mean missing teeth ranged from 0.1 (in Curitiba, South Brazil and Vitória, Southeast Brazil) to 1.2 (in the North countryside). Among adults the lowest mean missing teeth was found in Vitória (4.2) and the highest in Rio Branco, North Brazil (13.6). CONCLUSIONS:A remarkable reduction in tooth loss among adolescents and adults was identifi ed between 2010 and 2003. Among the elderly, tooth loss fi gure remained the same. In spite of important achievements in tooth loss fi gures, social and regional inequalities persist.

“…Epidemiological studies have used a much lower percentage of the population as representative and have drawn conclusions about the population as a whole from their data. [18][19][20][21][22] While this survey may prove useful in demonstrating general trends in the beliefs and activity of GDPs in regards to periodontal disease, there are some limitations in the interpretation of data from this type of study. While subjects were randomly selected in an attempt to gain a representative sample of GDPs, bias may have been introduced with a return rate of 51.8 per cent.…”

“…This finding is agreeable with earlier authors. 7,8,9,10 However, multiple logistic analyses showed only age and sex were found to be significantly associated with edentulism. As reported by other studies, age is strongly associated with edentulism.…”

“…9,21 Edentulism is closely associated with socioeconomic variables. [7][8][9][10]18 Women who were older, had no formal education, and were unemployed were more likely to be edentulous. Thus, oral health disparities may be due to differences in health literacy and behaviors, attitudes towards oral health, as well as dental care and access and use of dental services and types of treatment available.…”

I In nt tr ro od du uc ct ti io on n E dentulism, or complete tooth loss, is prevalent worldwide among older people. 1 Earlier studies have shown that edentulism affects the health and the overall quality of life of the elderly. 2 Complete and partial tooth loss is associated with reduction in physical, psychological and social function, and the ability to chew. It also increases disability. 3 The edentulous elderly tend to consume fewer than two-thirds of the recommended nutri-P Pr re ev va al le en nc ce e a an nd d A As ss so oc ci ia at te ed d F Fa ac ct to or rs s o of f E Ed de en nt tu ul li is sm m a am mo on ng g E El ld de er rl ly y M Mu us sl li im ms s i in n K Ko ot ta a B Bh ha ar ru u, , K Ke el la an nt ta an n, , M Ma al la ay ys si ia a A Ab bs st tr ra ac ct t O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : T To o d de et te er rm mi in ne e t th he e p pr re ev va al le en nc ce e o of f e ed de en nt tu ul li is sm m a an nd d i it ts s a as ss so oc ci ia at te ed d f fa ac c--t to or rs s a am mo on ng g e el ld de er rl ly y M Mu us sl li im ms s i in n K Ko ot ta a B Bh ha ar ru u, , K Ke el la an nt ta an n, , M Ma al la ay ys si ia a. .
