“…Very few reports have described in detail the nature of the residual dentition. The Kennedy classification (Table ) is widely accepted and used to systematically categorise the residual dentition; each class provides a brief description of the edentulous saddles which are present and the associated prosthetic design challenges …”

“…Studies which have used the Kennedy classification to describe the residual dentition of groups of people have been case series analyses studying younger adults, not older people; moreover, they have reported on each arch in isolation only, without providing a complete picture of the residual dentition . Living within residential aged care facilities and wearing partial prostheses are both considered to contribute to higher caries rates in older people .…”

Background Descriptions of the older population's dentition status are usually limited to indicators such as the edentulous proportion, the mean number of restored and missing teeth, and the proportion with a functional dentition, with very few reports describing in detail the nature of the residual dentition. Objectives This study described the residual dentition among older New Zealanders living in residential aged care facilities. Material and Methods Using national data from the Older People's Oral Health Survey, we determined the residual dentition arrangement and Kennedy classification for each dental arch. Individuals were categorised according to their maxillary‐mandibular dental configuration. Data were weighted to make the estimates generalisable to the source population. Results Among the dentate 45% of the 987 clinically examined participants, the most prevalent configuration was maxillary tooth‐bounded saddles against a partially dentate lower (24.7%; 95% CI: 20.4, 29.7). More younger participants generally had less tooth loss experience and had higher prevalence of Kennedy Classes II, III and IV. There were few sex differences, although more females had a fully dentate arch. Marked ethnic differences were observed: Māori were up to eight times as likely to have only mandibular anterior teeth remaining. Upper dentures were worn more than their lower counterpart. Age, sex and ethnic characteristics were associated with particular residual teeth configurations. Conclusions Having various degrees of tooth loss was the norm, with the upper tooth‐bounded saddles against any partially dentate lower combination most common, and limited to females. An edentulous maxilla opposed by some standing teeth was observed in over one‐quarter of the population, and most common among Māori and those who were older. Maxillary prostheses were much more common than mandibular ones. Caring for dentate older people in aged residential care is likely to be complicated by the wide range of dentition configurations.

“…Different records have shown that nondisease factors, such as environmental, biological, and socioeconomic factors play significant roles in the etiopathogenesis of edentulism. 1,2 Regardless of the optimistic expectation for a steady decline in the frequency of total edentulism in forthcoming decades with improved dental care, it continues to exist as an utmost global health problem because of the associated disabilities. Current reports reveal that 30.5% of individuals above the age of 65 years are edentulous in one jaw, with at least 22.6% having both jaws edentulous.…”

Introduction: Immediate implant-loading protocol has progressed because of various clinical advantages offered by this treatment approach. However, available studies on edentulous patients are still few compared to those in which delayed implantloading protocol was applied.Aim: This prospective study was to evaluate the implant survival rate and the peri-implant tissue response in a group of patients who received two unsplinted immediately loaded dental implants in the mandibular anterior region to retain a complete overdenture using locator attachments. Materials and methods:A total of 24 edentulous patients with a mean age of 63.4 years were involved in this study following certain inclusion criteria. All patients received a new set of complete dentures before implant positioning. Two Prima Connex tapered implants were put in the interforaminal area of the mandible with a flapless surgical procedure, and the prefabricated dentures were immediately retained with a zest locator attachment. Clinical and radiographic records of the patients were reviewed immediately after placement of the implant, at 3 months, and at 1, 2, and 3 years following fixture installation. The obtained data were analyzed using paired samples t-test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test at 0.05 significance level. Results:At 3 years, all implants had osseointegrated with a 100% survival rate. In addition, the total mean marginal bone change was −0.89 ± 0.14 mm, and the mean periotest value was −7.631 ± 0.921. Conclusion:Results of this study propose that immediate loading of mandibular implant overdentures that are retained with locator attachments was a feasible treatment alternative for this particular group of patients.

“…In accordance with the classification of Kennedy, there are four main types of partially edentulous arch is as Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV. Kennedy classification is widely accepted as the benefits of direct visualization as a supporter of the denture (Jeyapalan 2015).…”
