Effects of dental prostheses and occlusal force on adverse health outcomes in community-dwelling older adults lacking functional dentition: The Longitudinal Study of the Tsurugaya Project
This prospective cohort study demonstrated that a combination of <20 RNT and fewer FT was associated with a higher mortality, whereas a combination of <20 RNT and reduced OF was associated with higher incidence of functional disability and death. Dental prostheses and maintaining OF might play an important role in preserving functionality and promoting survival among older adults with less than 20 remaining teeth.
