Depression significantly increases denture dissatisfaction in older adults. This finding highlights the need to consider mental health in dental prosthetics and treatment evaluations.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Dental Public Health
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Depression is linked to poorer health outcomes in the elderly.
  • Understanding factors contributing to dissatisfaction with dentures is crucial for improving quality of life in older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between depression and denture dissatisfaction in older adults.
  • To quantify the relationship between depression severity and levels of denture dissatisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based study of 1180 adults aged 65-74 years.
  • Depression assessed using an abbreviated Geriatric Depression Scale.
  • Denture dissatisfaction measured via a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using logistic regression models.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive association was found between depression and denture dissatisfaction.
  • Each unit increase on the depression scale increased the odds of denture dissatisfaction by 24% (P < 0.001).
  • Higher depression scores correlated with increased levels of dissatisfaction with dentures (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Depression is a significant factor contributing to denture dissatisfaction in older adults.
  • This association has implications for assessing treatment efficacy and prosthodontic care needs.
  • Integrated care approaches addressing both mental and oral health may be beneficial for this population.
