Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prosthetic status and oral frailty of the elderly population residing in old age homes of Bhubaneswar city.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among 310 geriatric patients aged 60 years and above residing in old age homes of Bhubaneswar city. Data collection was done using a modified World Health Organization (WHO) 1997 and oral frailty index 8. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, Pearsons correlation and multinomial logistic regression were used.
Results: The mean age of the study population was 66.72±6.86 years. Forty-seven percent of the study population required multiple units in the upper arch and approximately 30% in the lower arch. There was a significant positive correlation between the prosthetic status of the upper teeth and oral frailty (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.315, p-value <0.0001). A ~1.751-fold risk of oral frailty was detected in participants with increasing age (p-value=0.049).
Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that most of the need for prostheses in the aged population was inadequate.
