Description: Missing teeth serves as a cumulative indicator of lifelong oral health deterioration, primarily resulting from dental caries and periodontitis, though trauma and other factors may also contribute to this outcome. The association between oral health and general health is not yet fully understood. This study examines the association between missing teeth, mortality, and hospitalization outcomes.
