dc.description.abstractAims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the community’s level of edentulousness, prosthetic status, and needs in the community and to study the correlation between oral health parameter and socioeconomic status (SES). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among the geriatric population with seniors 60 years of age and older. A sample size of 600 was estimated. Data were collected using the WHO Oral Health Assessment Form 1997 to determine the prosthesis status and requirement. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: Out of 600 elderly participants, 280 were males and 320 were females. Among males, 75.4% had no prosthesis in the upper arch, and 83.5% had none in the lower arch, while 78% of females had no prosthesis in the upper arch and 85.7% in the lower arch. The need for a full prosthesis was higher among males (37% upper arch, 42% lower arch) compared to females (19% upper arch, 25% lower arch). The study revealed that 23% of participants did not need an upper arch prosthesis, and 15% did not need a lower arch prosthesis. Overall, 77% required prostheses in both arches, with a higher percentage of lower SES participants needing prostheses. Conclusion: Geriatric patients visiting the institutional outpatient department showed higher rates of unmet prosthetic needs, with age and SES significantly impacting prosthetic status and need, while gender did not. The study’s analysis highlights the complex interplay of these factors, offering valuable insights for developing interventions to improve oral health outcomes in the elderly.en_US
