Abstract

Tooth loss is an important health dilemma. The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of dental status and edentulism in the elderly residing in Iran. An electronic search of the literature was carried out on Farsi and English databases using the following keywords: edentulism, dental caries, elderly, oral and dental health, edentulous, geriatric, caries, dentate, Iran, and prevalence. Articles that met the eligibility criteria according to the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies In Epidemiology) checklist were selected and entered into the meta-analysis. Data were analyzed using Stata 13.1 software, and the metan and metareg packages for used for the meta-regression and meta-analysis. Of the 172 articles retrieved, 154 were used after eliminating the duplicates, and their full texts were read. Of the 4574 participants evaluated in 13 studies, 2227 (48.7%) were completely edentulous (95% confidence interval [CI]: .49-.49). Of the 4423 participants evaluated in 12 studies, 2286 (51.7%) were dentate (95% CI: .52-.52). The mean number of remaining teeth was 5.73 (95% CI: 5.73-5.73) in six studies conducted on 2782 participants. Approximately 50% of the elderly in Iran are completely edentulous. Efforts should be made to improve dental care instruction, provision of dental care services in the public sector, and dental insurance coverage to promote the dental status of elderly Iranians.

伊朗老年人的牙齿状况：一项系统综述和荟萃分析。

牙齿脱落是一个重要的健康难题。本研究的目的是对居住在伊朗的老年人的牙齿状况和缺牙症进行系统回顾和荟萃分析。在波斯语和英语数据库中使用以下关键词对文献进行了电子搜索：缺牙症、龋齿、老年人、口腔和牙齿健康、无牙症、老年病、龋齿、牙齿、伊朗和患病率。根据STROBE（加强流行病学观察研究报告）检查表，符合资格标准的文章被选中并进入荟萃分析。使用Stata 13.1软件以及用于元回归和荟萃分析的metan和metareg包对数据进行分析。在检索到的172篇文章中，154篇是在消除重复后使用的，并阅读了它们的全文。在13项研究中评估的4574名参与者中，2227人（48.7%）完全无牙（95%置信区间[CI]:.49-.49）。在12项研究中，4423名参与者中有2286人（51.7%）有牙（95%可信区间：.52-.52）。在对2782名参与者进行的6项研究中的平均剩余牙齿数为5.73颗（95%可信范围：5.73-5.73）。伊朗大约50%的老年人完全没有牙齿。应努力改善牙科护理指导、公共部门牙科护理服务的提供以及牙科保险，以提高伊朗老年人的牙科地位。

期刊介绍： Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry (JICD) aims to publish quality, peer reviewed original research and topical reviews on all aspects of investigative and clinical dentistry and craniofacial research, including molecular studies related to oral health and disease. Although international in outlook, the Editor especially encourages papers from the Asia Pacific. The journal also aims to provide clinicians, scientists and students of dentistry with a knowledge transfer platform for rapid publication of reports through an international journal, which will be available free online until 2012. Its scope, therefore, is broad, inclusive and international, but with a particular focus on Asia Pacific. The Editor welcomes manuscripts in the following key thematic areas in oral and maxillofacial sciences: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Conservative Dentistry, Dental Biomaterials, Dental Pedagogy, Endodontics and Traumatology, Implant Dentistry, Oral Biosciences, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Orthodontics, Oral Radiology, Oral Rehabilitation, Paedodontics, Periodontology and Periodontal Medicine.
