“…Interestingly, individuals reporting higher frequency of dental care over the follow‐up time had higher incidence of tooth loss than those not visiting the dentist in the same period. It would be expected that visiting a dentist would prevent tooth loss (Foiles Sifuentes et al 2020; Li et al 2011). However, other studies have shown associations similar to that of the present study (Bhat et al 2018; Gilbert et al 2003), which may be explained in part by social disparities, reasons to consult a dentist and by the fact that the majority of tooth extractions are performed in dental offices/services.…”

Tooth loss has a negative impact on individuals' life and well-being (Emami et al. 2013). Globally, total tooth loss is estimated to affect 267 million individuals and account for 7.3 million years lived with disability (Collaborators et al. 2020). Although estimates of severe tooth loss generally have decreased (Kassebaum et al. 2014), population-based studies still demonstrate high number of lost teeth over time in various countries (Dye et al. 2019; Muller et al. 2007). Caries and periodontitis are recognized as the main causes for tooth loss, but other factors have also been associated with its occurrence

“…However, the aging process itself is also not the main predic- previous study showed an association between advanced age and edentulism. 50 Relative to the subgroup aged 50-59 years, older adults aged 60-69 years presented 1.65 the odds of edentulism, while the older subgroup aged ≥80 years presented 5.84 the odds of edentulism. 50 Interestingly, individuals without edentulism showed an increase in the prevalence of oral health care visits with aging, when the opposite occurred to the group with edentulism.…”

Introduction: An increase in life expectancy was observed in the past years. Consequently, the knowledge of the maturational changes in the occlusion is highly important to guide clinicians during treatment planning. Objective: In this article, the occlusal and facial aging changes occurred during almost 50 years of follow-up are described. A normal occlusion sample from Bauru Dental School, University of São Paulo, Brazil, was evaluated at 13 (T1), 17 (T2) and 60 (T3) years of age. The maturational changes observed in digital dental models and cephalometric radiographs were presented. A revision of the aging process, under the gerontology and psychology perspectives, was also explored. Discussion: Maturational changes in non-treated individuals were very delicate. Mandibular crowding, decrease in the overbite, changes in the maxillary second molar position, increase in the clinical crown length, dental wear and discoloration were observed. Conclusion: Compared to the remarkable facial and skin changes during aging, the occlusion seems to be the most stable feature of the face during the aging process. Final considerations: An adequate oral care throughout lifetime makes the smile the best memory of youth at mature ages.

“…Complete tooth loss (edentulism) is also associated with a host of noncommunicable diseases, including malnutrition, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and cancers (Emami et al 2013;Felton 2016) Sifuentes et al 2020). Dental care is important even with a lack of natural teeth to maintain the fit of dentures and monitor health changes in the mouth (e.g., oral cancer).…”

Introduction: Edentulism affects health and quality of life. Objectives: Identify factors that predict older adults becoming edentulous over 12 y in the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS) by developing and validating a prediction model. Methods: The HRS includes data on a representative sample of US adults aged >50 y. Selection criteria included participants in 2006 and 2018 who answered, “Have you lost all of your upper and lower natural permanent teeth?” Persons who answered “no” in 2006 and “yes” in 2018 experienced incident edentulism. Excluding 2006 edentulous, the data set ( n = 4,288) was split into selection (70%, n = 3,002) and test data (30%, n = 1,286), and Monte Carlo cross-validation was applied to 500 random partitions of the selection data into training ( n = 1,716) and validation ( n = 1,286) data sets. Fitted logistic models from the training data sets were applied to the validation data sets to obtain area under the curve (AUC) for 32 candidate models. Six variables were included in all models (age, race/ethnicity, gender, education, smoking, last dental visit) while all combinations of 5 variables (income, alcohol use, self-rated health, loneliness, cognitive status) were considered for inclusion. The best parsimonious model based on highest mean AUC was fitted to the selection data set to obtain a final prediction equation. It was applied to the test data to estimate AUC and 95% confidence interval using 1,000 bootstrap samples. Results: From 2006 to 2018, 9.7% of older adults became edentulous. The 2006 mean (SD) age was 66.7 (8.7) for newly edentulous and 66.3 (8.4) for dentate ( P = 0.31). The baseline 6-variable model mean AUC was 0.740. The 7-variable model with cognition had AUC = 0.749 and test data AUC = 0.748 (95% confidence interval, 0.715–0.781), modestly improving prediction. Negligible improvement was gained from adding more variables. Conclusion: Cognition information improved the 12-y prediction of becoming edentulous beyond the modifiable risk factors of smoking and dental care use, as well as nonmodifiable demographic factors. Knowledge Transfer Statement: This prediction modeling and validation study identifies cognition as well as modifiable (dental care use, smoking) and nonmodifiable factors (race, ethnicity, gender, age, education) associated with incident complete tooth loss in the United States. This information is useful for the public, dental care providers, and health policy makers in improving approaches to preventive care, oral and general health, and quality of life for older adults.
