| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate three-year incidence of and risk factors for tooth loss in community-dwelling adults. Subjects were 269 (male 128,female 141) dentate adults in a town of Niigata Prefecture who visited both oral examination that were carried out in 1997 (baseline examination) and 2000 (follow-up examination). The follow-up rate was 37.2%. The average age at baseline was 60.6 (SD=12.8). We used multiple-logistic regression model to quantify tooth-specific and person-level risk factors for tooth loss by using variables of oral examination and questionnaire at baseline.
Three-year incidence of tooth loss was 4.9% in tooth-level, 48% in person-level. The average number of missing teeth per year was 0.33.
The results of person-level multiple logistic regression analysis showed that tooth loss was more common in persons with 10-27 present teeth, decayed teeth, oral symptom, history of dental visit within a year and habit not using interdental brush or dental floss. By using tooth-level multiple logistic regression analysis showed that incidence of tooth loss is higher in wisdom tooth, decayed tooth, crowned tooth, abutment tooth of bridge and tooth with mobility.
