This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of medical conditions and dental treatment needs in Thai dental patients aged 55 years and older. Four hundred thirty-eight records of patients aged 55 years and older were reviewed. They were Thai, consisting of 210 males (47.94%) and 228 females (52.06%) with an average age of 63.3 ± 6.1 (ranging from 55 to 85) years old. Two-thirds of patients had a history of medication use; hypertension (44.75%) was the predominant systemic disease and significantly more common in the 55-64 years patients. Cerebrovascular diseases, benign and malignancies showed significantly higher prevalence in men than women. Thyroid diseases were significantly more prevalent in women than men. Eighty-nine percent of the patients had oral health problems. The most prevalent dental treatment needs were tooth replacement (92.69%), followed by periodontal treatment (89.95%), fillings (82.42%), and extractions (47.72%). Fillings and extractions were significantly higher in men than women, whereas tooth replacement was significantly more prevalent in women than men. Periodontal treatment, fillings, and oral mucosal lesions treatment were significantly higher in the 55-64 years patients. The present study provides medical conditions and dental treatment needs in Thai dental patients aged 55 and older in lower northern Thailand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
