In 1984 prevalence and objective and subjective need for complete dentures was investigated in a random sample of 400 old-age pensioners, 67 years and older, who were either inmates of old people's residential or nursing homes or long term patients in geriatric departments of the hospitals in Reykjavík. Complete upper and lower dentures were worn by 80.5% of the inmates, a complete maxillary denture alone by 7.5% and a complete mandibular denture alone by 0.5%. Prevalence of denture wearing was significantly higher in females than males and higher in those who, before admission to the institutions, lived in Reykjavík or other towns and villages rather than in inmates coming from rural districts. The difference between estimated objective (58%) and subjective (19.2%) need for complete dentures was great.
1984年，对400名67岁及以上领取养老金的老人进行了随机抽样调查，这些老人要么是养老院或疗养院的住客，要么是雷克雅未克医院老年科的长期患者。80.5%的住客佩戴了上下全口假牙，仅佩戴上颌全口假牙的占7.5%，仅佩戴下颌全口假牙的占0.5%。女性佩戴假牙的比例显著高于男性，在入住机构之前居住在雷克雅未克或其他城镇和乡村的人佩戴假牙的比例高于来自农村地区的住客。全口假牙的估计客观需求（58%）和主观需求（19.2%）之间的差异很大。
