    Summary

    Tooth loss increases with age, with a rapid period between 34-47 years. Dental data from Saskatoon, Canada, show patterns similar to British and Greek studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Tooth mortality data offer insights into dental disease prevalence, access to care, and attitudes towards extraction.
    • Establishing baseline data on tooth loss is crucial, especially during periods of changing dentist-to-population ratios.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine tooth mortality patterns in patients at the University Dental Clinic in Saskatoon, Canada (1981-1986).
    • To compare these findings with similar studies conducted in Britain and Greece.
    • To provide baseline data during a period of increasing dentist-to-population ratios.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of tooth mortality data from patients at the University Dental Clinic, Saskatoon.
    • Data categorized into quinquennial age groups for comparison with international studies.
    • Exclusion of totally edentulous individuals to ensure comparability.

    Main Results:

    • Tooth loss prevalence escalates with age, with a significant increase between ages 34-47.
    • A plateau in tooth loss is observed up to age 62, followed by another increase.
    • Molar teeth showed the highest rate of initial loss, while mandibular incisors were least affected. Maxillary teeth loss exceeded mandibular teeth loss, excluding first molars.

    Conclusions:

    • The tooth mortality patterns observed in Saskatoon are comparable to those reported in British and Greek populations.
    • The findings contribute to understanding age-related tooth loss and its demographic variations.
