METHODS Seven hundred and seventy-six participants aging between 65-74 years were randomly selected in a cross-sectional study according to the requirements of the fourth national oral health epidemiological investigation of China. Data was obtained via questionnaires and clinical examination. Non-parametric analysis was performed to compare the numbers of lost teeth and molars between groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess risk factors for tooth loss with SPSS 21.0 software package. RESULTS The average numbers of lost teeth and lost molars were 5.94 and 2.59, respectively. 42.3% subjects had periodontal pockets and 83.0% had at least 4 mm attachment loss. Males lost more teeth and molars than females (P less then 0.05). Smoking was a risk factor for maintaining functional dentition, especially when the smoking amount reached 6/d (odds ratio=1.88, 95% confidence interval 1.231-2.872, P less then 0.01). Less than 6 years schooling and occupation requiring hard physical labor were also important risk factors for tooth loss. CONCLUSIONS Gender, oral hygiene habits, smoking, educational level and occupation are important risk factors for tooth loss in 65-74 year old adults in Shanghai.PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical effect of continuous curvilinear buccal-cervical incision in combined radical resection of buccal cancer.
