Abstract:
Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate tooth loss prevalence, denture types and prosthetic dental treatment needs among people of ages 35-44 of Bayangol District of Ulaanbaatar City. Materials and Methods 9351 subjects were examined and questionnaires were presented to partially and/ or totally edentulous subjects among patients of this research. The questionnaire consisted of questions; age, gender, education level, place of residence, problems with dentures, necessity for new denture. Results. Most of the people were partially edentulous (93.0%) and 6.0% was full dentate, 1.0% was complete edentulous. In this research, only 6% of the people are full dentate but 94.3% have missing teeth and it indicates that the most of the people are demanding partial denture treatment. Acrilic denture was consumed in (3159) 95.0% of total dental coverage, but only 116 people had fixed denture. Acrylic denture was consumed much more than removable partial denture and bridge, and it may be due to expensive price of bridge and implant. The number of female patients with complete dentures was more than the number of males, with opposing trend for partial dentures. Tooth loss is a major indicator of oral health among adults, which may be increased by the lack of access to care, certain chronic diseases and/or insurance status. Conclusions. Almost 940 people in each 1000 people of ages 35-44 or 9 of every 10 subjects of among patients of Bayangol District, Ulaanbaatar City have edentulism /р>0.001/. It has been estimated that 34.5% about adults of those with edentulism had prosthetic treatment and majority (95%) of them use acrylic denture. We can see that 94.3% of subjects among the patients of ages 35-44 in our research have had missing teeth and 60% of them had no any treatment and are demanding prosthetic treatment.
