Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of partial and complete edentulism in the population of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted at multiple dental care facilities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A total of 422 subjects aged 35 and older were selected using a convenient sampling method, and information regarding edentulism was collected by clinical examination and through a questionnaire. Frequency distribution and percentages were calculated for categorical variables. The Chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between the categorical variables. Of the total sample, 259 (61.4%) were males, and 163 (38.6%) were females. In the overall assessment of edentulism, it was found that the majority of the subjects, 407 (96.4%), had one or more teeth missing. Among these, 7.1% were completely edentulous. The tooth loss did not significantly differ across age, gender, and educational levels (p>0.05). A high percentage of adult patients have missing teeth, and complete edentulism was found primarily in elderly people 55 years and above.
