The population of the United States is aging rapidly. By the year 2000, approximately 36 million Americans will be 65 years of age or older. With respect to dentistry, the oral health status of older adults is improving. In addition to retaining more of their teeth, the demand for dental care is increasing amongst the geriatric population. Because total edentulousness is expected to decline in the future, a greater demand for removable and fixed partial dentures is anticipated. This paper serves as an outline for quick reference when treatment planning the replacement of teeth in the partially edentulous arch.
美国人口正在迅速老龄化。到2000年，大约3600万美国人将年满65岁或以上。就牙科而言，老年人的口腔健康状况正在改善。除了保留更多牙齿外，老年人群体对牙科护理的需求也在增加。由于预计未来无牙的情况会减少，因此对活动和固定局部义齿的需求将会更大。本文作为在为部分无牙弓的牙齿替换制定治疗计划时快速参考的大纲。
