Dental prosthesis

Dental prosthesis lowers the risk of social isolation in humans (OR 1.23 vs 1.79).

“participants with 0-9 teeth that did not use a dental prosthesis were 79% [OR = 1.79, 95%CI = 1.49-2.19] more likely to be socially isolated, whereas participants with 0-9 teeth that used a dental prosthesis were only 23% [OR = 1.23, 95%CI = 1.05-1.45]”

Dental prosthesis is associated with social isolation in humans (OR 0.90 (95% CI 0.80-1.02)).

“The OR of incident social isolation was lower for those who used a dental prosthesis [OR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.80-1.02)] compared to those who did not use a dental prosthesis.”
