Summary: This study evaluated the oral health status of adult patients with hypophosphatasia (HPP). The results showed that HPP patients with two variants of the ALPL gene were at a higher risk of periodontitis and tooth loss compared to the general population, while patients with one variant developed clinically relevant oral disease symptoms with progressing aging.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the trend of deciduous dental caries in the Iranian population at different ages from 1990 to 2017. The results showed an increasing trend of dental caries among Iranian children, indicating a need for critical evaluation of oral health policies in Iran.

Summary: Based on the data from the German Oral Health Studies, it is predicted that by 2030, the average number of missing teeth in adults will decrease by two-thirds to 1.3, while the average number of missing teeth in seniors aged 65-74 will decline to 5.6, also a two-thirds reduction. The prevalence of tooth loss is expected to decrease by 72% by 2030, with half of the adult population and about one-third of seniors not exhibiting any tooth loss by that time.

Summary: The study found an association between metabolic syndrome and its components and the number of remaining teeth in postmenopausal women in Korea. Abdominal obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and MetS prevalence are related to tooth loss in postmenopausal women.

Summary: The study found that compared to having 28 teeth, having less than 22 teeth, but not 26 to < 28 or 22 to < 26 teeth, was associated with an increased prevalence of hearing impairment.

Summary: The study aimed to validate the agreement between self-report and clinical examination of oral conditions and evaluate the influence of sociodemographic factors on the accuracy of self-reporting among women aged 60 and older. Results showed high levels of agreement in the self-reporting of edentulism and the use of dental prostheses among older women. However, there were differences observed, particularly among women with lower income and education levels.

Summary: There is an association between the number of natural teeth and overall dietary diversity and nutritional status among older adults in China. Older adults with poor dentition have lower dietary diversity, lower intake frequencies of healthy foods, and worse nutritional status.

Summary: Among the Kenyan elderly population, satisfactory mastication was related to the number of teeth present, FTU points, and self-reported periodontal symptoms. Furthermore, satisfactory mastication was associated with perceived general health status independently.

Summary: The study found an association between tooth loss and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. The risk of mortality increased with the number of missing teeth, but did not continue to increase after reaching 10 missing teeth. This association was stronger in younger adults.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the genetic etiology of extra tooth phenotypes, including mesiodens and isolated supernumerary teeth. Through oral and radiographic examinations and whole-exome sequencing, seven out of eight patients were identified with heterozygous missense variants in FREM2. These findings suggest that mutations in FREM2 are associated with extra tooth phenotypes.

Summary: The study developed and evaluated a modified version of the periodontal risk score (PRS) that showed strong predictive capability for tooth loss due to periodontitis, providing a powerful tool for establishing tooth prognosis.

Summary: This study investigated the association of urinary pentosidine and serum homocysteine levels with the number of teeth and subsequent tooth loss in postmenopausal Japanese women. The results showed that higher homocysteine levels were associated with fewer teeth at baseline, and higher pentosidine concentration increased the risk of subsequent tooth loss.

Summary: Research shows that a lower number of teeth is associated with increased risk of ACVD and death. Healthcare professionals should use this information to educate patients on the importance of good dental health and increase efforts to prevent tooth loss.

Summary: The prognosis of traumatized teeth heavily relies on the fate of the pulp and its treatment. Future research should focus on diagnostic methods, treatment materials, splinting duration, antiresorptive medication, and long-term effects.
