“…V. T. Abdurahiman examined student aged 18-25 years from tirur taluk, malappuram district, kerala and found out that the frequency of partial edentulism among the surveyed group was significant with predominance in maxillary posterior edentulousness in men and mandibular posterior edentulousness in women. All restored cases were with fixed bridges, and no anterior edentulousness was found (Abdurahiman VT et al, 2013) [15]. The study also, revealed a lack of awareness and needs to educate the population, which is in line with the results of the present study.…”

Background: Edentulism and number of remaining teeth per capita are commonly used as main indicators of dental health status in national surveys. Objectives: To determine the level of tooth loss and the most common arch affected, to find the out awareness level of replacement of missing teeth with different prosthetic types and to evaluate the correlation between educational level and tooth loss. Subjects and methods: This was cross-sectional clinical examination, and questionnaire based study, examining the prosthetic status of young females and their level of awareness to replace missing teeth. Using the sample size calculator with the confidence interval of 95% and significance of p<0.05, the sample size was calculated to be 200. The inclusion criteria were female patients visiting Qassim Dental Clinics and primary health care centers, aged between 19-39 years. Data was processed and analyzed through SPSS. Results: The incidences of partial edentulism were 62.5% and the highest level of missing teeth was found among young females who have college and postgraduate degree, which was 52.8%. The restored cases were only16% out of the affected cases. There was a lack of awareness 39.2% to restore missing teeth among study population. The most important cause of loss teeth among the studied population of young females of Qassim was caries 90.4%. Conclusion:The study revealed that young females were concerned about their esthetics than other functions of the masticatory system. This can also be supported with the fact that missing mandible posterior teeth were found to be the most common amongst them. Present study showed that awareness level and motivation were significantly low to restore missing teeth. It also revealed that educational status was not the only predictor of health outcomes.

“…The pattern of partial edentulism has been evaluated in many selected populations in different countries. Several studies have analysed the correlation between partial edentulism and its influencing factors like socio-economic parameters, age, gender, etc, [1,2,[4][5][6]8,12,15,[17][18][19][20]. Few studies also have analysed the awareness among the subjects to replace the missing teeth [1,5,7,8,[16][17][18][19][20].…”

Frecuencia del edentulismo parcial y total en adultos y su relación con factores asociados en la clínica universitaria Cuenca Ecuador 2016Frequency of partial and total edentulism in adults and its relation to associated factors in the university Clinic Cuenca Ecuador 2016 RESUMENObjetivos: Conocer la frecuencia y relación de los tipos de edentulismo con el estado nutricional, calidad de vida, género y edad de los pacientes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Cuenca. Material y métodos: Se analizaron 378 pacientes adultos para determinar el tipo de edentulismo más frecuente. El estado nutricional se calculó mediante el índice de masa corporal y el impacto en la calidad de vida se analizó con el cuestionario OHIP 14. Se registraron los datos en SPSS vs.21 y se ejecutó el análisis de Odds Ratio. Resultados: el edentulismo parcial es el tipo de pérdida dental más frecuente (75%), la clase III de Kennedy fue predominante en ambos maxilares (42% maxilar superior y 40% mandíbula). Se observó asociación entre la calidad de vida y edentulismo (OR: 0,06 IC95% (0,03 -0,11) edentulismo parcial, OR: 2,85 IC95% (1,747 -4,647) edentulismo total) pero no se encontró relación entre el edentulismo con el estado nutricional y el género de los pacientes. El grupo de edad mayor a 40 años se consideró un factor de riesgo de edentulismo total (OR: 20,10 IC95% (7,203)). Conclusiones: El edentulismo es un factor de riesgo para una menor calidad de vida. Además la pérdida dental depende de la edad, a mayor edad, mayor riesgo de edentulismo. No hubo predisposición por el género, afectando a ambos géneros por igual, fi nalmente no existe correlación entre el edentulismo parcial o total y el estado nutricional de los pacientes.PALABRAS CLAVE: Boca edéntula, estado nutricional, calidad de vida.
