There were two aims of this study. First, the frequency of edentulism and denture wearers among 464 residents in long-term units in Göteborg, Sweden, was evaluated. Second, the dentures were examined to determine whether they were marked correctly for identification. Of the subjects, 46% were edentulous in both jaws, and 13% in one jaw. Among complete denture wearers, 47% of the patients had at least one identification-marked denture. Removable partial dentures, worn by 26 subjects, were marked to a lesser extent (32%). Since there are many edentulous people among the elderly in most parts of the world we suggest that removable dentures are marked with the patient's name or identification number.
本研究有两个目的。其一，评估瑞典哥德堡长期居住机构中464名居民的无牙情况及佩戴假牙者的比例。其二，检查假牙以确定其标识是否正确以便识别。在这些受试者中，46%的人上下颌均无牙，13%的人单侧无牙。在全口假牙佩戴者中，47%的患者至少有一副带有识别标识的假牙。26名佩戴可摘局部假牙的受试者中，假牙带有标识的比例较低（32%）。鉴于世界上大多数地区的老年人中无牙者众多，我们建议可摘假牙上标注患者姓名或识别号码。
