“…The number of teeth, and number of occluding pairs of teeth required for satisfactory social and biological function, has received considerable attention over the past two decades [29][30][31][32] with the consensus that 20 teeth (10 occluding pairs of teeth) provide adequate oral function. Thirty-nine per cent of CHAMP men had 21 or more natural teeth, and just over 65% relied on prosthetic teeth to provide satisfactory occlusion (≥10 FTU).…”

Background:The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project (CHAMP) is a cohort study of the health of a representative sample of Australian men aged 70 years and older. The aim of this report is to describe the oral health of these men. Methods: Oral health was assessed when the men were all aged 78 years or older. Two calibrated examiners conducted a standardized intraoral assessment. Descriptive data were analysed by statistical association tests. Participants were excluded from the collection of some periodontal assessments if they had a medical contraindication. Results: Dental assessments of 614 participants revealed 90 (14.6%) were edentate. Men had a mean of 13.8 missing teeth and 10.3 filled teeth. Dentate participants had a mean of 1.1 teeth with active coronal decay. Those in the lowincome group had a higher rate of decayed teeth and lower rate of filled teeth. Thirty-four participants (5.5%) had one or more dental implants, and 66.3% relied on substitute natural teeth for functional occlusion. Of those with full periodontal assessments; 90.9% had sites with pocket depths of 3 mm or more, 96.6% had sites with CAL of 5 mm or more, and 79.7% had three or more sites with GI scores of 2 or more. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of periodontal diseases and restorative burden of dentitions, which suggests that greater attention needs to be given to prevention and health maintenance in older Australian men.

“…Indeed, having fewer than 20 teeth was found to be associated with poorer chewing ability and lower consumption of more valuable and healthy foods [6,7]. It was found that not only the number of teeth is important but also their distribution in the oral cavity [8]. The UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey demonstrated an association between the number of posterior contacts and freedom of food choice, which affected individual's nutrients intake.…”

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).

“…5(12), 88-100 89 of the molar teeth 16 . Contrary, several studies and reviews have indicated that twenty occluding teeth provide sufficient oral functional ability and the need to replace all missing posterior teeth has been questioned 1,7,11,14,[16][17][18][19][20] When dentists extend or reconstitute reduced, shortened or discontinuous dental arches and replace missing teeth in either anterior or posterior regions to create a complete dental arch (CDA), the following interventions are usually recommended: removable partial denture prosthesis (RPDP) or cantilever fixed denture prosthesis (CFDP), including resin-bonded bridges and implant-retained fixed partial dentures (IFPDs) 18,21,22 .…”

What dentition assures oral function?

Abstract: The World Health Organization goal for the year 2000, namely to maintain a natural dentition of not less than 20 teeth throughout life, is substantiated by the current literature review as this proposed dentition will assure an acceptable level of oral function.
