This study aimed to examine the patterns of partial edentulism and the associated risk factors in Jordan.
A cross-sectional, epidemiological study was carried out across Jordan, and data was collected from adult partially dentate patients in various healthcare facilities. The data collected included sociodemographic data, dental and social history, and clinical examination findings for the jaw and teeth. Multivariate regression models were used to determine the predictors for the number of missing teeth.
The sample consisted of 467 partially dentate participants. The leading cause of tooth loss was dental caries (85.4 %), followed by periodontal disease (13.7 %), and trauma (7.5 %). The mean number of missing teeth was significantly higher in the upper jaw (2.5 ± 3.1) compared to the lower jaw (2.2 ± 2.6, p = 0.02). In both jaws, the most prevalent Kennedy classification was Class 3, followed by Class 3/Modification 1 and Class 2/Modification 1. Increased age, smoking, lack of daily tooth brushing, and low education level were significantly associated with high tooth loss.
This study contributes to the understanding of partial edentulism in Jordan, reflecting broader oral health concerns and the factors influencing tooth loss. The findings, vital for future research and interventions, offer insights applicable to global oral health challenges, particularly for at-risk groups.
本研究旨在调查约旦部分牙列缺损的模式及其相关危险因素。
在约旦开展了一项横断面流行病学研究，从各个医疗机构的成年部分牙列缺损患者中收集数据。收集的数据包括社会人口统计学数据、牙科和社会病史，以及颌骨和牙齿的临床检查结果。采用多变量回归模型确定缺牙数的预测因素。
样本包括467名部分牙列缺损参与者。牙齿缺失的主要原因是龋齿（85.4%），其次是牙周病（13.7%）和外伤（7.5%）。上颌的平均缺牙数（2.5±3.1）显著高于下颌（2.2±2.6，p=0.02）。在上下颌中，最常见的肯尼迪分类是3类，其次是3类/改良1类和2类/改良1类。年龄增加、吸烟、缺乏每日刷牙习惯和低教育水平与高牙齿缺失率显著相关。
本研究有助于了解约旦的部分牙列缺损情况，反映了更广泛的口腔健康问题以及影响牙齿缺失的因素。这些发现对未来的研究和干预至关重要，为全球口腔健康挑战，特别是针对高危人群，提供了可适用的见解。
