Identification of oral bacteria in patients with dentulous, partially edentulous and edentulous: A comparative study

Conclusions: Edentulism was most prevalent in individuals aged 50 years and older, emphasizing the role of aging in tooth loss. No significant gender differences were observed, indicating equal impact on males and females. Certain bacteria, like Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus, were more common in edentulous patients.
