    Area of Science:

    • Oral health epidemiology
    • Dental public health

    Background:

    • Edentulism, the condition of being toothless, affects a significant portion of the adult population.
    • Understanding the prevalence and demographic distribution of edentulism is crucial for public health planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of edentulism in South Australia.
    • To identify demographic factors associated with edentulism.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey of approximately 8,300 subjects aged 15 years and over in South Australia was conducted.
    • Data on edentulism and denture use were collected and analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • Approximately 228,400 South Australians (26%) were found to be edentulous.
    • Of the edentulous subjects, 95% used full maxillary and mandibular dentures.
    • Edentulism prevalence increased with age and was lower in males, upper socioeconomic groups, immigrants, and the State capital.

    Conclusions:

    • Edentulism is a considerable public health issue in South Australia, particularly among older adults.
    • Targeted interventions may be needed for specific demographic groups with higher prevalence rates.
