Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between removable denture and depression. This study aims to investigate the relationship between depression and each group by dividing them into a group that were using removable dentures and a group that needed removable dentures but were not using removable dentures. Materials and methods: This study was conducted using raw data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES). By using variables related to the state of the prosthesis and the need for prosthesis among oral examination data, the oral examination data were classified into two groups; group using removable denture and group in need of removable dentures. In addition, the variables of depression were classified into normal (0-4), mild depression (5-9), moderate depression (10-19), and severe depression (20-27) using the values of PHQ-9. For statistical analysis, logistic regression analysis was performed using SAS 9.4. Results: In the group in need of removable dentures, the risk of severe depression was statistically and significantly higher than the group using removable dentures. Conclusion In patient who have lost multiple teeth, rehabilitation of the missing area with removable dental prosthesis is expected to decrease the occurrence of severe depression.
