Tooth Loss

Tooth Loss refers to the partial or complete loss of one or more teeth.
It can result from various factors, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, trauma, or congenital conditions.
Tooth loss can have significant impacts on an individual's oral health, nutrition, and quality of life.
Effective management of tooth loss may involve restorative dentistry options like dental implants, bridges, or dentures to replace missing teeth and maintain oral function.
Understanding the causes and consequences of tooth loss is crucial for developing preventive strategies and providing appropriate treatment options to improve patient outcomes.

Evaluating Periodontal Therapy Outcomes

A narrative review paper was commissioned for this guideline (Loos & Needleman, 2020) to evaluate the possible outcome measures utilized to evaluate the efficacy of periodontal therapy in relation to true patient‐centred outcomes like tooth retention/loss. The authors found that the commonly reported outcome variable with the best demonstrated predictive potential for tooth loss was the reduction in periodontal probing pocket depth (PPD). Therefore, for this guideline, PPD reduction was used as primary outcome for those systematic reviews not addressing periodontal regeneration, and where tooth survival data were not reported. When reviewing regenerative interventions, gains in clinical attachment were used as the primary outcome measure. To avoid introducing bias by including possibly spurious findings of studies with very short follow‐up, a minimal follow‐up period of six months was requested for all reviews.

Systematic Reviews of Oral Conditions

Oral condition data on prevalence and incidence to inform models came from 3
updated independent systematic reviews of observational studies on untreated
dental caries (Kassebaum et
al. 2015), SCP (Kassebaum et al. 2014a (link)), and total tooth loss (Kassebaum et al. 2014b (link)). Full case
definitions and inclusion/exclusion criteria for literature review and
definition of disability associated with oral conditions were consistent with
previous analyses (Marcenes
et al. 2013) and are presented in Appendix 1. Case definitions
followed the WHO definition of caries, which includes “a lesion in a pit or
fissure, or on a smooth tooth surface, has an unmistakable cavity, undermined
enamel, or a detectably softened floor or wall (coronal caries), or feel soft or
leathery to probing (root caries)”; “a gingival pocket depth equal or more than
6 mm, or Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) also referred as
Community Periodontal Index (CPI) score of 4, or a clinical attachment loss
(CAL) more than 6 mm” for periodontal disease; and “complete loss of natural
teeth” for total tooth loss. Clinical examination was required for diagnosis of
caries and periodontal disease, while either examination or self-report data
were included for tooth loss. Surveys were excluded if they reported on
nonrepresentative samples of the general populations or representative samples
of specific high-risk groups, such as people with chronic illnesses,
disabilities, or emotional or behavioral health problems. The GBD 2015 study
analyzed 195 countries and territories, along with subnational locations in
Brazil, China, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden,
the United Kingdom, and the United States. Data availability for main oral
conditions is presented in Appendix 2. A full set of input sources for each
condition is available on the Global Health Data Exchange (http://ghdx.healthdata.org).

Dental Examination Protocols for Young Children

A knee-to-knee examination (Figure 1) was used (13 ) for smaller children, generally younger than 4, while a portable pediatric dental chair was used for older children. Debris and plaque were removed with a toothbrush (Oral-B, Iowa City, Iowa, USA) for 1 minute, which also served to acclimate the child to the exam setting. The EC4 examiners used the Defend Mirrorlite system (Mydent International, Hauppauge, New York, USA) and a clip-on headlamp (Surgitel, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) affixed to an eyeshield, with the teeth dried with gauze but without compressed air. The examinations were visual only (i.e., no tactile examination with an explorer or periodontal probe) with no magnification beyond corrective eye glasses.
The criteria distinguished cavitated from non-cavitated lesions, but not lesion depth (i.e., enamel and dentinal caries as in the D₁–D₄ or (d₁–d₄) WHO system). In short, while our d₁ classification closely matches that of the d₁–d₄ system (8 ,9 ), the term d₂₊ used by the EC4 essentially combines the d₂, d₃ and d₄ WHO classifications.
For examinations, a two pass system similar to NHANES (5 ) was used. First, tooth-level status codes were recorded for all teeth. When primary teeth were missing, the determination of reason for missing a tooth was left to the examiner’s professional judgment, based on eruption and exfoliation patterns, patterns of missing teeth and/or disease in the individual, and input from parent /caregiver (when present) considered for consistency with the clinical findings. For children age 3 or younger, outside of clear trauma situations, all missing teeth were considered unerupted or lost due to caries, depending on tooth eruption patterns. For children age 5 or older, some children may have begun exfoliating anterior primary teeth, which were considered naturally exfoliated. (See Table 1 for tooth status and tooth surface status codes used).

ElderSmile: Improving Oral Health in Older Adults

The ElderSmile clinical programme currently consists of 27 prevention centres, which are located at senior centres and other locations in which older adults gather in the Harlem and Washington Heights/Inwood communities of northern Manhattan, New York City^{15 (link)}. The foremost reason that the CDM elected to focus on creating a network of prevention centres was to access a population of older adults that was not centrally interested in obtaining oral health care for painful conditions, in order to intervene before disease is severe. Given ongoing partnership with the prevention centres over time, both older adults who received services and centre directors, who value the programme, help recruit additional participants for subsequent oral health screenings. The prevention centres host a combination of services, including: (1) general presentations and discussions in both English and Spanish of oral health promotion in later life (e.g., potential oral health problems, how to choose oral health care products, and access to oral health care, including transportation issues); (2) demonstrations of brushing and flossing techniques and care of prosthetic devices; and (3) oral cancer and oral health examinations for older adults who elect to participate. Services are provided by two faculty dentists and dental students of the CDM, who were trained by the project director.
The comparison population for this study is adults aged 65 years and older who received a dental examination in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2004. In these US national surveys, dental examinations were conducted in the mobile examination centre by trained dentists who were periodically calibrated by the reference dental examiner¹⁶. Similar procedures were followed for the ElderSmile dental examinations. In brief, ElderSmile examiners used a non-magnifying mirror and a pen light to assess for tooth loss and dental caries. The examining protocol was based upon the Radike criteria¹⁷ with minor modifications, as per the NHANES protocol.
Older adults are enrolled in the ElderSmile programme after participating in the oral health promotion activities and being examined by one of the ElderSmile dentists. After the screening dentist reviews the results of the oral health examination with each patient, the patient has the option of being referred to an ElderSmile community-based treatment centre (if there is no dental home) or to her or his own dentist^{15 (link)}. The project coordinator functions as a case manager to better ensure that indicated follow-up is received by the patients, which is currently at 88%.

Oral Health Impact Profile for Chilean Adolescents

The data used to validate the OHIP-Sp [see Additional file 1] originated in a cross-sectional study conducted among high school students from the Province of Santiago, Chile. The study group was obtained using a multistage random cluster procedure to select school classes within schools. The sample consisted of 9,203 students aged 12–21 years, distributed in 310 classes from 98 schools. Details about the sampling strategy have been provided elsewhere [27 (link)-29 ]. The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the local ethical committee of the University of Chile and subjects participated on the basis of informed consent. All students were invited to participate in the study and all accepted to fill a brief questionnaire containing information on socio-demographic factors; oral health related behaviors; and self-reported oral health status (rated as good, fair or poor) [27 (link),29 ]. From the whole study group, 9,163 students accepted to answer a written questionnaire asking detailed information on socio-economic indicators [30 (link)] and to participate in a clinical oral examination involving the recording of tooth loss [31 (link)], the presence of necrotizing ulcerative gingival lesions (NUG) [28 (link)] and clinical attachment level (CAL) in 6 sites per tooth in molars and incisors [27 (link)]. A total of 9,155 students also accepted to fill the OHIP-Sp questionnaire. Owing to the young age of the study population, the recall period considered was 'lifetime', just as the response options for each question were dichotomized as 'Yes' or 'No'.

Periodontal Health Assessment Protocol

Upon confirmation of eligibility for enrollment in the study, clinical periodontal measurements including probing pocket depth (PPD) (mm), clinical attachment loss (CAL) (mm), plaque index (PI) [26 (link)], gingival index (GI) [27 (link)], and bleeding on probing (BOP) (presence/absence) (%) [28 (link)] were recorded from all participants (test and control) during their visit to the Periodontology Department at timepoint 2. Clinical periodontal measurements were performed at six sites on each tooth (mesio-buccal, mid-buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, mid-lingual, and disto-lingual locations), except for third molars, using a manual periodontal probe (Williams, Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) by a single trained examiner (AS). Intra-examiner agreement was determined for CAL. The intra-examiner reproducibility was determined through repeated examinations of 10 subjects with a one-hour interval (k = 0.95).
Diagnosis of periodontal disease was based on clinical and radiographic criteria proposed by 2017 World Workshop on the Classifications of Periodontal and Peri-implant Disease and Conditions [29 (link)]. Individuals with a BOP < 10% without attachment loss and radiographic bone loss were considered to have periodontal health [30 (link)]. Individuals presenting with a BOP ≥ 10%, and PPD ≤ 3 mm without attachment loss and radiographic bone loss were considered gingivitis [31 (link)]. The criteria for patients with periodontitis were (1) interdental CAL detectable at ≥ 2 non-adjacent teeth or (2) buccal or oral CAL ≥ 3 mm with PPD > 3 mm detectable at ≥ 2 teeth [32 (link)]. The periodontal examiner was not blind to the test or control status.

Oral Examination and Dental Caries Assessment

Intra oral examination was carried out using a sterile dental mirror and probe with the participant seated on a chair in a well-lit environment. All the teeth present in the mouth, with the exclusion of the third molars, were recorded using the Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI) notation. The DMFT index of the World Health Organization for dental epidemiological studies was used to determine the caries status of the participants [36 ]. The index includes the following: D- number of decayed teeth, M- number of extracted teeth due to caries, F- number of teeth filled or crowned due to caries and T- teeth present. Only teeth extracted due to caries were recorded as missing. Histories of missing teeth was elicited from the participants in order to exclude agenesis, trauma and other causes. Women who were caries free would have DMFT scores of 0. ‘Caries experience’ was denoted by any circumstance where where the DMFT score was ≥1. Oral hygiene status was evaluated using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) [37 (link)]. The index comprises of debris and calculus scores on selected tooth surfaces. The buccal and lingual surfaces of the six index permanent teeth (FDI numbers 11, 16, 26, 31, 36, 46) were examined. Oral hygiene was classified as good, fair, or poor when score ranges were 0.0–1.2, 1.3–3.0, and >3.0, respectively.
