Abstract

The need for complete denture treatment was compared to utilization of complete denture services. To estimate the need for complete denture treatment we used data from the Mini-Finland Survey which included 3620 persons who were edentulous in one or both jaws. Data about utilization of services was obtained through questionnaires sent to samples of dentists and special dental technicians. Utilization of services was 21.8% of the need assessed with professional criteria and 17.7% of the subjective need. Compared to the subjectively assessed need, utilization of complete denture services was highest among young women and lowest among men aged 60-69 yr. Subjective need for denture services was highest in older groups. From these results we conclude that certain barriers prevent patients from seeking care; and as these barriers are reduced, use of complete denture services may increase.

摘要

将全口义齿治疗需求与全口义齿服务的利用情况进行了比较。为了估计全口义齿治疗需求，我们使用了芬兰小型调查的数据，该调查包括3620名单颌或双颌无牙的人。通过向牙医和特殊牙科技师样本发放问卷获得了服务利用情况的数据。按照专业标准评估，服务利用率为需求的21.8%，主观需求的17.7%。与主观评估需求相比，全口义齿服务利用率在年轻女性中最高，在60 - 69岁男性中最低。义齿服务的主观需求在老年人群中最高。从这些结果我们得出结论，某些障碍阻碍患者寻求治疗；随着这些障碍的减少，全口义齿服务的使用可能会增加。
