Tooth loss and periodontal status of elderly in Zagreb-Croatia
Oral health condition has a large significance in maintaining general health and quality of life. Other than mucosal changes in oral cavity, ageing is followed by changes in tooth and periodontal structures. Changes that occur in periodontal ligament are decreased number of fibroblasts, while cement gets 5-10 times thicker. Tooth morphology changes are influenced by abrasion, attrition and passive eruption. Periodontal diseases prevails in many cases over tooth decay. Loss of intraoral vertical dimension followed by temporomandibular joint disfunctions is generally caused by extensive tooth loss. The aim of the study was to obtain a data on periodontal and oral mucosa conditions, as well as tooth loss for developing a regional oral health program.
