“…Most of the subjects in this study obtained a primary level of education (282, 44.1%), followed by the illiterate (182, 28.4%) as shown in Table IV. This finding was consistent with that of other studies 3,13 determining and providing the needs of the population regarding different types of prostheses for missing teeth.…”

“…Dental caries, periodontitis (disease surrounding the soft tissue of the tooth), trauma, and/or a combination of these disorders are the common causes of tooth loss. [1][2][3] On the basis of potential combinations of teeth to ridges, various methods of partial edentulism classification have been reported in different dental studies and surveys. At present, Kennedy classification is the most accurate and widely used and accepted because of its simplicity, ease of application to all partial edentulous situations, immediate visualization of the type of partially edentulous arch being considered, and differentiation between tooth-borne and tooth-tissue-borne removable partial dentures.…”

Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and pattern of partial edentulism among dental patients attending the Najran Specialist Dental Center, Najran, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: Data was collected from 640 subjects who reported to the Najran Specialist Dental Center, Najran, Saudi Arabia and were prescribed with removable dental prostheses (RDP). Intraoral clinical and radiographic examinations were performed. The subjects were categorized into four age groups: 30-40, 41-50, 51-60, and > 60 years. Levels of educational and monthly income status were recorded, encoded into a SPSS program, and analyzed using Chi-square test. Results: Among all the dental patterns, Kennedy class II obtained the highest number of occurrence in the maxillary arch, whereas class I obtained the highest number of occurrence in the mandibular arch in both genders and all age groups. Kennedy class II obtained the highest number of occurrence, followed by class III in both arches in the monthly income groups. Class IV obtained the lowest number of occurrence in all age, gender, educational level, and monthly income groups in both arches. Conclusions: Among the selected subjects, Kennedy class I and II were the most prevalent patterns in both arches, all age groups, and both genders. Class IV was the least dominant pattern in all groups. The levels of educational and monthly income status played a role in the edentulism pattern of patients. Dental caries was the most common reason for tooth loss.

“…4 In the study, class III was the most common in both maxilla (59%) and mandible (61%) which is similar to the study conducted in Pakistan with 54% in maxilla and 53% in mandible whereas class IV was the least common in both maxilla (1%) and mandible (6%) which is in parallel with the same study with maxilla (9%) and mandible (5%). 5 The majority of Kennedy's class I was without modification in both maxilla (10) and mandible (10) which is in agreement with other studies 6,7 where as it contradicts with the study conducted in Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital. 10 Likewise the majority of Kennedy's class III are also without modification in both maxilla (56) and mandible (52) which is in agreement with other studies.…”

This frequency of molar missing is contradicting with the study conducted in India.…”

Background: Maintenance of oral hygiene is one of the most important factors to prevent tooth loss. Education plays a significant role to maintain good oral hygiene. The objective of the study was to determine partial edentulism based on Kennedy’s classification and to find out correlation between partial edentulism and educational status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 189 partially edentulous patients visiting dental OPD of three government hospitals. Patients above 18 years of age were selected using non-probability convenience sampling, 63 from each center. History taking and visual examination were done after getting informed consent from the participants. Descriptive (mean, median, standard deviation, range, ratio and percentage) and inferential (Man-Whitney test) statistics were applied. Results: In 189 partially edentulous patients 61% were females and 39% were males, and 48.1% people had no formal education. Kennedy’s Class III was most common (59% in maxillary, 61% in mandibular arches) and Kennedy’s class IV was least common (1% in maxillary, 6% in mandibular arches). From the study, we found that the number of teeth missing was higher in people with no formal education and there was statistically significant difference in the number of missing teeth in people with formal education and people who didn’t have any formal education (p<0.05). Conclusion: The study showed that education plays a vital role in generating awareness about maintenance of oral hygiene and people who are educated have a tendency of retaining more of their natural dentition. Preventive educational programs should be focused in the low education group so that more effective outcomes can be achieved.

“…The loss of many teeth usually affects the quality of life and has a negative impact on the functional, social and psychological well-being of an individual. 1 Generally, it occurs by caries, periodontal problems, traumatic injuries, impactions, and supernumerary teeth, neoplastic and cystic lesions. Some studies have reported caries as the main causative agent for tooth loss.…”

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDDental and Oral Health is a vital part of our overall health and well-being. Poor oral hygiene can lead to caries and gingival diseases. Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is a lifelong commitment. However, many older adults experience poor oral health. Even though recent reports have shown a consistent decline in the prevalence of tooth loss during the past few decades, significant variation in tooth loss distribution remains. We wanted to determine the prevalence of partial edentulism according to Kennedy's classification and assess the reason for non-replacement of teeth. METHODSThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 patients who came to the Department of Prosthodontics in SPDC. They were partially edentulous patients in the age group of 20-60 years. After obtaining informed consent from these patients, thorough intraoral examination of all the patients was carried out to identify the pattern & type of edentulism. Each patient was asked to fill a self-administered questionnaire regarding loss of teeth. The questionnaire comprised of a total of 10 close ended questions. Patient responses were assessed, and analysed. RESULTSHealth status was assessed in different age groups and significant results were found. Lack of awareness was found to be the main reason for not replacing the missing teeth in 36 % of patients in the age group of 20-30. 36% patients of the age group 30-40 felt no difference after extraction showing that lack of awareness in young age group remains the main reason for not getting treatment done. Self-motivation resulted in seeking treatment for 40% patients in the age group of 40-50 whereas it was 60% in the age group of 20-30 in females; motivation by friends and relatives for seeking treatment affected 50% of male patients in the age group of 20-30 and same was seen in females of the age group 50-60. 31% patients in the age group of 20-30 consulted dentist for the replacement of the missing teeth. CONCLUSIONSGender comparison in this study shows prevalence of loss of teeth with predominant Kennedy's Class 1 in males than females but with less tendency to seek treatment for the same than females.
