“…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.…”

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).

“…However, tooth loss due to aging is not inevitable; i.e., tooth loss is not a normal phenomenon in elderly individuals, although many studies have reported that tooth loss is an outcome of aging and that age is an indicator of tooth loss. 22,23 Age alone cannot be used to predict the number of present teeth. In this prospective cohort study, we found that the number of present teeth in middleaged/elderly participants was associated with tooth retention at an older age, even after adjusting for sociodemographic status and oral health behavior.…”

“…The number of present teeth is associated with age and is an important indicator of oral health; 22,23 however, it is difficult to estimate the number of present teeth on the basis of age alone. A previous study reported that the number of present teeth in individuals at the ages of 50-59 years and 56-65 years was associated with tooth loss 6 years later.…”

“…Periodontal disease (PD) is characterized by the destruction of connective tissue and alveolar bone after an inflammatory response of the host to infection by pathogens that can lead to tooth loss, affecting more than 80% of the population worldwide. Its multifactorial etiologic character includes different risk factors such as obesity and osteoporosis, which can contribute to its emergence and prevalence [2][3][4][5][6] .…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), and oral hygiene with periodontal disease (PD) in a group of elderly adults in Mexico City. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study with a convenience sample of 151 elderly adults was conducted. Before applying the epidemiological survey, each subject was asked to sign an informed consent. Standardization for measuring Ramfjord's Periodontal Disease Index (PDI), BMI, and Green and Vermilion's OHI-S was carried out. Descriptive statistics and linear regression models were performed. Results: The 93.4% of the group had PD, 33.8% showed severe gingivitis and 20.5% mild gingivitis. A 28.5% five percent of the group had osteopenia and 18.5% had osteoporosis, being more common in people over 69 years. The 38.4% percent of the group was underweight and 53.0% had poor oral hygiene. Oral hygiene accounted for 63.1% of the PD variance (p=0.0001), figure that did not increase considerably by adding BMD and BMI variables to the regression model. Conclusion: The frequency of PD in this group of elderly adults was high and significantly associated with BMD, BMI, and mainly oral hygiene.

Tooth Loss and Periodontitis in Older Individuals: Results From the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care

Abstract: The prevalence of periodontitis increased with age. Sex seems to be the dominant explanatory factor for periodontitis in older individuals. Despite frequent dental visits, overall oral health in the oldest age cohort was poor.
