“…The study of Semba et al [53] was not further considered, since the exposure mixture to denture use and difficulty in chewing or swallowing was not suitable for the aim of our review. Four [37,42,54,58] out of the remaining five studies yielded an increased risk of death among women or men not using dentures ( Table 2). Interpretation of these findings is, however, limited by the methodological quality of the analyses (Table 5).…”

“…Interpretation of these findings is, however, limited by the methodological quality of the analyses (Table 5). One study [58] controlled only for age and gender for each exposure group (but additionally controlled tooth contacts for the exposure to denture use) and each study lacked adjustment for gender [37], age [37] or SES, including education and income [38,42,54,58]. Only one study used risk modelling approaches [42].…”

“…Most of the studies were conducted in Europe [37, 40, 43-46, 49, 50, 52, 55-57] or Japan [38,41,42,48,54,58], four in the United States [39,47,51,53] and one in China [36]. Study participants were recruited from the general population [36-46, 48-53, 57, 58], nursing facilities [54], registers [47,55] and a university hospital [56].…”

“…As to the database search on tooth loss and mortality, six investigations [37,38,42,54,58,59] were assigned to the denture use analysis. Other studies were not considered since they assessed tooth loss solely as an exposure category of periodontal disease [60][61][62][63][64], treated the number of teeth as a score variable [65,66] or a confounding variable only [67] or no quantitative data have been given [68,69].…”

The association of tooth loss with all-cause and circulatory mortality. Is there a benefit of replaced teeth? A systematic review and meta-analysis

We systematically reviewed whether the number of teeth is related to all-cause or circulatory mortality and whether replaced teeth are protective against all-cause or circulatory mortality. The search was based on the PubMed database. All cohort studies published in peer-reviewed journals were selected. Studies on periodontal disease and mortality were excluded if they did not provide information on the number of teeth. Risk estimates from studies with appropriate exposure definition, confounder adjustment and sample size were included in a meta-analysis. Three high-quality studies found a relationship between the number of teeth and circulatory mortality, whereas a moderate study did not. Two out of four moderate- to high-quality studies reported a relationship between the number of teeth and all-cause mortality. No study has investigated whether replaced teeth are protective against mortality. Therefore, denture use was taken as proxy. The methodological quality of studies on denture use and mortality was generally low to moderate. The findings of two moderate studies indicated an effect of prosthodontic replacements on all-cause mortality, which was supported in bias analysis. It is open whether competing risks of cause-specific death other than circulatory mortality reduce an effect of the number of teeth on all-cause mortality. An effect of denture use on circulatory mortality remains to be established, as well as whether the number of replaced teeth affects mortality. Specifying the role of potential pathways by which tooth loss-related mortality is mediated will possibly increase the value of dental treatment for general health.

Objectives The study aimed to investigate the relationship between subjective oral frailty and adverse health outcomes or medical and dental expenditures in the latter‐stage older adult through a 6‐year longitudinal study. Methods The participants enrolled in the cross‐sectional study were 3564 Tokushima City residents aged 75, 80, 85, and 90 years old who received oral health examinations and who responded to a questionnaire on oral conditions and health behavior at baseline. The data for the occurrence of disability or mortality, and the monthly medical expenditures, dental expenditures, and total medical expenditure of each participant were obtained from the National Health Insurance Database. Results The total medical expenditure showed significant differences in participants who had difficulties in eating tough foods, difficulties in swallowing tea or soup, and dry mouth when compared to that of healthy participants, in addition to the current medical treatment against the general disease. The 6‐year longitudinal study revealed that participants with subjective oral frailty symptoms, including difficulties in eating tough foods and difficulties in swallowing tea or soup at baseline, had significantly higher medical, dental, and total expenditures among 538 participants without certified nursing care. In addition, those with subjective oral frailty or with less than 19 teeth present were shown to have a higher possibility for the occurrence of disability or mortality by the cox proportional hazard analysis. Furthermore, it was found that medical and total expenditures in older adults with adverse health outcomes were higher than that of healthy participants. Conclusion These results suggest that subjective oral frailty in the latter‐stage older adult is related to subsequent adverse health outcomes and an increase in medical and dental expenditures.

Mortality rates of community‐residing adults with and without dentures

Abstract: The present study suggests that dentures are one of the factors associated with mortality rates especially in female subjects with less than 10 functional teeth.
