OBJECTIVES: To identify the ocuurrence, distribution, and factors associated with lost molars and furcation defects in a sample of the Bulgarian population.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The full mouth cone-beam computed tomography of 56 male and 57 female patients, aged between 19 and 84 years, were examined. A comprehensive evaluation was performed on a total of 675 molars-339 in maxilla and 336 in mandible. Associations with variables such as age, gender, and periodontal disease were analyzed.
RESULTS: With aging the number of missing teeth and interradicular lesions increased. No significant links between gender and molar loss (p = .64) or gender and furcation involvement (p = .25) was found. Periodontitis was strongly associated with both studied dental problems (p < .001). The occurrence of furcation defects was more frequently observed in the maxilla than in the mandible.
CONCLUSION: The occurrence and distribution of lost molars and furcation defects is substantial within the studied sample. Further investigation with a larger patient cohort is needed. Pertinent healthcare strategies to address the observed dental health issues also have to be developed.
