Abstract

Background: Tooth loss is appeared to have an important role in mastication and esthetic. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the prevalence of tooth loss and edentulism in Iranian population. Methods: Studies reviewed in this article were primarily identified via search of online bibliographic databases including PubMed and Iranian Biomedical Journals, by using tooth loss, edentulism, epidemiology, and Iran as keywords. Potentially related studies were retrieved and the selection criteria applied. Eligible articles were reviewed. Results: From studies identified after conducting the search, 10 eligible studies were included. The prevalence of tooth loss ranges between 0.3% in 3 to 5-year-old children to 70.7% in adults over 65. There is a lack of well-designed epidemiological studies on edentulism and tooth loss in Iran. The prevalence of tooth loss is high and increased by aging. Conclusion: It seems that the prevalence of tooth loss is high among adults in Iran. It is highly suggested to establish population-based studies to investigate the epidemiology and risk factors of tooth loss in Iran. The results of such studies will be useful to adopt appropriate preventive strategies.
