Senior Solutions: Direct Composite Fixed Bridges
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Remaining teeth in Americans according to the NIH’s 2004 report state that only 22 out of 32 teeth per person are present in people 50 to 64 years of age. That computes to 10 missing teeth per person at 50 or above as the mean stat. It is also calculated that one tooth is missing in 69% of people 35 to 44 years of age. The true statistics of the condition of people’s missing teeth will never really be known as our senior population continues to grow.A less well know patient population that is underserved are those with special needs defined by federal, state and county agencies. Approximately 1 in 5 or 56.7 million Americans out of our current population have some form of disability. Many of these people do not receive dental care that they are in need of and require to maintain or elevate the quality of life. It is admitted by dental economists that there has been a loss in private practice base population with a downturn in busyness for the general dental practitioners. The dental schools are addressing this fact in the modification of their dental school programs looking at these social issues
