Introduction- There could be various reasons for tooth loss among which; caries, periodontal diseases, and trauma.The present study was conducted to determine the partially edentulism in study population. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 620patients of both genders. General information such as name, age, gender etc. was recorded. All patients were assessed for partially edentulism on the basis of age, gender and Kennedy’s classification. Results- Out of 620 patients, males were 370 and females were 250. The difference was non- significant (P- 0.1).Age group 20-30 years had 40 males and 25 females, 30-40 years had 60 males and 35 females, 40-50 years had 75 males and 40 females, 50-60 years had 85 males and 50 females and >60 years had 110 males and 100 females. The difference was significant (P- 0.01).Edentulism was on the basis of Kennedy’s classification. It was seen in maxilla as class I (120), class II (100), class III (75) and class IV (40). In mandible, as class I (140), class II (105), class III (5) and class IV (35). The difference was significant (P- 0.01). Conclusion- Males had higher number of edentulousness than females.
