“…The prevalence of tooth loss and the need for prosthetic treatment are high both in Brazil and worldwide [1, 2] and affect the well-being of individuals and the population [3]. To improve oral health-related quality of life, rehabilitation with removable or fixed prostheses is indicated to reestablish masticatory and aesthetic functions and to minimize the consequences of tooth loss and edentulism [4].…”

Objectives To describe dental prosthesis provision in the Brazilian public health service and report the performance of dental prosthesis procedures according to the Brazilian macroregions. Methods A structured interview was conducted with senior-level health professionals from each of the 18,114 oral health teams (OHT). The dependent variables were performance of removable prostheses and prosthesis procedures, including provision of fixed prostheses by OHT. Descriptive statistics were produced together with performing a cluster analysis using SPSS version 19.0. Results The manufacture of any type of prosthesis was done by a minority of OHT (43%). The most commonly provided types of dental prosthesis were removable full and partial dentures. Cluster 1 (teams that performed prosthesis procedures the most) was composed of a smaller number of teams (n = 5,531), and Cluster 2 (composed of teams that do not perform prosthetics or that perform them in small amounts) consisted of 12,583 teams. The geographic distribution of clusters reveals that the largest proportion of Cluster 1 teams is located in the Northeast (33.9%) and Southeast (33.6%). Conclusions A minority of OHT produce dental prostheses. There is an unequal geographical distribution of clusters.

“…This is similar to the findings of Myanmar adults and also among the adults of Saudi Arabia. 12,13 This could be due to lack of awareness and availability of oral health services along with the higher expenses associated with the treatment of oral diseases. Collectively leading to accumulation of oral diseases resulting in need for tooth rehabilitation.…”

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDProsthodontic needs are the determinants of tooth rehabilitation as tooth replacement is important to restore the vital functions of the teeth like mastication, aesthetics, phonetics etc., finally contributing to better quality of life. Estimating the prosthodontic needs is essential for planning prosthodontic service for the given population. Thus, the present study aims to assess the prosthodontic needs among the adults of Hubli city and to know its association with the selected sociodemographic parameters like age, gender, educational level, occupation and diet. METHODSA total of 685 adult subjects was included for the study. House to house survey was conducted and information on prosthodontic needs and sociodemographic variables were gathered by interview and clinical examination method. Collected data was analysed by descriptive statistics and chi-square test. RESULTSOut of 685 subjects, 56.3% are males and 43.6% are females. 44.8% required prosthetic teeth among which 31.3% needed upper arch teeth and 36% were in need of lower teeth. Prosthetic needs were more among females (50.1%), 59-65 years old (88.5%), with primary education (56.9%), married people (49.1%), Hindus (45.8%), farmers (68.4%) and among vegetarians (47.7%). Chi-square results showed that, prosthodontic needs are significantly associated with sex (p= .013), age (p=.000), marital status (p= .000) and occupation (p= .000). CONCLUSIONSProsthodontic needs are more among the adults of Hubli region indicating a negative attitude towards tooth retention. Hence, public should be made aware of maintaining healthy teeth and preventing the teeth loss. Further, people of Hubli area should be encouraged to get the teeth replacement at the earliest. Also, there is a need to implement affordable and accessible prosthodontic care for this population as nearly half of the adults need teeth prosthesis.

“…In other studies, a prevalence ranging from 33.2 to 81.2% has been observed, depending on the population group studied. [13][14][15][16] Although there have been substantial improvements in the oral health of populations in several countries, different dental problems persist worldwide. The burden of oral diseases is particularly high in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, which can be observed in both developing and developed countries.…”

“…14 In Saudi Arabia, Peeran et al performed a study in adults aged 35-74 years and observed that about 56% of the participants had dental prosthetic needs. 15 On the other hand, in Thailand, prosthetic needs reach 60% in subjects aged 60-75 years. 16 The determination of prosthetic needs in Mexico is a little-explored subject so the objective of the present study was to determine the influence of various indicators of the socioeconomic position on prosthetic needs in elderly Mexicans of 60 years and over.…”
