Oral health objectives prescribed by World Health Organization for the year 2020 have expressed that there ought to be an expansion in the quantity of people with functional dentitions (at least 21 common teeth) at ages of 35-44 and 65-74 years.
The aim of this study is to examine the prevalence of tooth loss and to evaluate and compare the risk indicators associated with tooth loss among adult population in urban and rural areas of Muradnagar, Ghaziabad.
A cross-sectional study was led among 1200 adults aged 35-74 years in urban and rural areas of Muradnagar, India. Information was assembled by an interview followed by clinical examination (number of missing teeth). Demographic and socioeconomic factors and self-perceived oral health were the independent variables assessed. One-way analysis of variance, post-hoc test (Bonferroni), Chi-square test, Student's -test, and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.
Low educational status, no dental check-ups, low frequency of brushing, older age, and smoking habit were independent risk factors for tooth loss. The odds of tooth loss in older adults and illiterates were higher; the odds for tooth loss among those who expressed their desire for replacement of missing teeth were 1.3 times lower than their counterparts.
The experiences gained up showed that tooth loss was very pervasive in Muradnagar populace and the critical hazard indicators identified were age, education, socioeconomic status, and cigarette smoking.
世界卫生组织制定的2020年口腔健康目标表明，35 - 44岁以及65 - 74岁拥有功能性牙列（至少21颗恒牙）的人数应有所增加。
本研究旨在调查牙齿缺失的患病率，并评估和比较加济阿巴德穆拉德纳加尔城乡成年人口中与牙齿缺失相关的风险指标。
在印度穆拉德纳加尔城乡对1200名35 - 74岁的成年人进行了一项横断面研究。通过访谈收集信息，随后进行临床检查（缺失牙数量）。评估的自变量包括人口统计学和社会经济因素以及自我感知的口腔健康状况。采用单因素方差分析、事后检验（Bonferroni法）、卡方检验、t检验和逻辑回归分析进行统计分析。
低教育水平、未进行牙齿检查、刷牙频率低、年龄较大和吸烟习惯是牙齿缺失的独立危险因素。老年人和文盲牙齿缺失的几率更高；表示希望修复缺失牙的人群牙齿缺失的几率比其他人低1.3倍。
所获得的经验表明，牙齿缺失在穆拉德纳加尔人群中非常普遍，确定的主要风险指标是年龄、教育程度、社会经济地位和吸烟。
