The effects of the number of natural teeth and posterior occluding pairs on the oral health‐related quality of life in elderly dental patients

Abstract

Thai elderly participants with at least 20 NT or at least 4 POP had greater OHRQoL than those with less than 20 NT or less than 4 POP, and in our study sample, we observed that 5 teeth may be an important clinical threshold for Thai elderly dental patients' quality of life.
