10-year trend of tooth loss and associated factors in a Japanese population-based longitudinal study by Michiko Furuta, Kenji Takeuchi, Yoshihiro Shimazaki, Toru Takeshita, Yukie Shibata, Jun Hata, Daigo Yoshida, Toshiharu Ninomiya, Yoshihisa Yamashita, Shino Suma, Shinya Kageyama, Mikari Asakawa

“…Poisson mixed models showed that changes in mean CAL and dental caries experience were positively associated with the change in the number of missing teeth over time. Linear mixed models showed that changes in dental plaque index and no regular dental visit were positively associated with changes in mean CAL.Conclusions These findings suggest that a decreasing trend regarding the number of missing teeth in Japan might be associated with improvements in the periodontal condition due to changes in oral hygiene level and oral health behaviour.…”
