Racial differences in periodontal disease and 10‐year self‐reported tooth loss among late middle‐aged and older adults
In this population-based cohort, there is racial heterogeneity in the association between periodontitis and tooth loss. Interventions to reduce the impact of periodontitis on tooth loss need to consider these differences
Secondhand Smoke and Periodontal Disease
Objectives. We investigated the relationship between secondhand smoke and periodontal disease in nonsmokers. Methods. We undertook a cross-sectional analysis of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study with 2739 lifetime nonsmokers aged 53–74 years, unexposed to other sources of tobacco, who received a complete periodontal examination at visit 4. Exposure was reported as average hours per week in close contact with a smoker in the preceding …
Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Periodontal Disease
Objectives. We used data from the Dental Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study to examine whether individual- and neighborhood-level socioeconomic characteristics were associated with periodontal disease. Methods. We assessed severe periodontitis with a combination of clinical attachment loss and pocket depth measures. Marginal logistic regression modeling was used to estimate the association between individual and neighborhood socioeconomic …
Plausibility of Periodontal Disease Estimates from NHANES III
Combined-phase estimates of GB and PD prevalence and extent differ from previously published estimates derived from Phase 1, apparently because estimates in at least one phase of the NHANES III study are biased. However, associations with selected risk indicators were fairly consistent between phases
Prevalence of HIV‐associated Periodontitis and Chronic Periodontitis in a Southeastern US Study Group
HIV-infected persons in this study group from North Carolina exhibited severe and extensive measures of adult periodontitis. A small proportion experienced a severe form of HIV-P, which was attenuated by antiretroviral therapy
Do Root Lesions Tend to Develop in the Same People Who Develop Coronal Lesions
It appears that coronal and root caries do tend to appear together in the same individuals, but fillings attenuate that relationship. The impact of dental treatment on the epidemiology of dental caries appears to be considerable and calls into question whether the F component of the caries index is related to disease as defined by epidemiologic criteria
Three‐year Root Caries Incidence and Risk Modeling in Older Adults in North Carolina
These findings suggest that older blacks had less risk of root caries than whites, and in both groups indicators of poor periodontal status increased the risk of root caries
Eighteen-month incidence of tooth loss among older adults in North Carolina
This study investigated tooth loss in North Carolina adults 65 years of age or older. A random sample of 335 Blacks and 284 Whites participated in dental examinations and interviews at baseline and again after 18 months. Blacks were more likely than Whites to lose at least one tooth (36% vs 19%), and they lost more teeth on average (1.0 vs 0.4). Several oral disease conditions and symptoms were related to tooth loss, but many other hypothesized f…
Eighteen‐month Coronal Caries Incidence in North Carolina Older Adults
In this longitudinal study of a random sample of North Carolinians over the age of 65 and living in their homes, 325 blacks and 280 whites were examined and interviewed 18 months after baseline examinations. Coronal caries incidence was greater among whites than blacks. The increment due to teeth becoming root fragments were similar for both races; however, there were more newly crowned teeth among whites. Newly crowned surfaces were not used as …
Root Caries Prevalence in Black and White North Carolina Adults over Age 65
The baseline root caries prevalence of 809 dentate black and white home-dwelling North Carolinians over age 65 was determined along with the collection of a large number of demographic and behavioral, clinical, and microbiological variables in the longitudinal Piedmont over-age-65 Dental Study. In comparison to other studies of older adults, the prevalence of decayed-filled root surfaces (DFRS) was low, fewer than 2.0 DFRS in whites, and signific…
Dental Treatment Needs in an Elderly Population
A random sample of 1,019 adults 65 years of age and older, living in their own homes, consented to a clinical dental examination and an interview. Eight hundred nine subjects were dentate and 210 were edentulous. Each dentate person was examined for caries and periodontal conditions, as well as a separate determination of restorative and extraction treatment needs. Most people in this study lacked restorative treatment needs of any kind. Blacks r…
The Prevalence of Periodontal Attachment Loss in an Iowa Population Aged 70 and Older
Survey dental examinations were conducted in 262 dentate elderly people aged 70 and older and residing in two rural Iowa counties. Over 60 percent of the elderly in these countries were dentate. Buccal and mesial sites of all teeth were assessed for gingival recession, pocket depth, and attachment loss. Mean loss of periodontal attachment was 2.1 mm, and was slightly greater in older age groups and in men. More gingival recession was found on buc…
Effect of Residence in a Fluoridated Community on the Incidence of Coronal and Root Caries in an Older Adult Population
Eighteen-month caries incidence among older adult residents of fluoridated and nonfluoridated communities was compared. Rates for both coronal and root caries were consistently lower among long-term residents of the fluoridated communities than among life-long residents of nonfluoridated communities. Coronal caries incidence was significantly lower for people who had resided in fluoridated communities for more than 30 years (1.95 vs 1.33 surfaces…
Incidence of Coronal and Root Caries in an Older Adult Population
Incidence rates for new root caries and new coronal caries in noninstitutionalized older adults are unknown. In this study, a representative sample of 451 elderly Iowans received dental examinations at the start of the study and again after 18 months. This dentate cohort had a mean of 0.87 new surfaces of coronal decay per person per year and a mean of 0.57 new surfaces of root decay per person per year. Coronal caries occurred at an annual rate …
Incidence of tooth loss among elderly Iowans
This study investigated the 18-month incidence of tooth loss in a random sample of 451 dentate noninstitutionalized Iowans aged 65 and older residing in two rural counties. They had a mean of 19.0 teeth at baseline and lost an average of 0.4 teeth during the subsequent 18 months. Twenty-one per cent of the population lost at least one tooth. Four people had all their teeth extracted. Of the teeth present at baseline, 1.9 per cent subsequently wer…

The Choice of Health Insurance Plans by University Employees
This study presents the results of a survey of university employees to determine the factors that were important in the choice between two health insurance plans (CHIP vs traditional). The major differences between the plans were their coverage of hospital services, physician office visits, and routine dental services. Separate analyses were conducted for employees of departments associated with the health professions and employees of other depar…
Methodological Considerations in a Dental Epidemiologic Survey of an Elderly Population
The proportion of the US population that is age 65 or over is increasing and edentulism rates are declining. The community's elderly population is becoming an increasingly important constituency for dental public health. Little is known, however, about the actual oral health status of these people. An assessment of oral health in the elderly presents many considerations not found in an assessment of oral health among children. The selection of su…
Edentulism and oral health problems among elderly rural Iowans
A household health interview survey of 3,673 noninstitutionalized people aged 65 and over in two rural Iowa counties included questions about loss of teeth, use of dentures, and presence of oral health problems. Edentulism rates were 10-15 per cent lower than those found a decade earlier in national health surveys. A log-linear analysis found that the best demographic predictors of edentulism were education, age, and marital status. Spouses tende…
