Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the association between physical function and edentulism among older adults. The fifth wave of Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5) data was used. Physical function was evaluated through physical performance, physical capability, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM). Edentulous was found in 10.96% of 2554 older adults. Low physical performance (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.32-3.09; P = .001) was shown to be associated with edentulism in the 60 to 69 age group. In the 70 to 79 age group, both low physical performance (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.04-2.53; P = .033) and 1 dependency in ADL/IADL (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.02-2.98; P = .04) were significantly associated with edentulism. Two or more dependencies in ADL/IADL (OR 4.02, 95% CI 1.15-13.99; P = .029) demonstrated significant association with edentulism in older adults ≥80 years. These findings highlighted the importance of maintaining natural teeth and improving oral health during the aging process.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
