This study assessed the prevalence of missing teeth and non\u2010functional dentition, identified their associated factors, and evaluated prosthodontic coverage.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This cross\u2010sectional study was a secondary analysis of Myanmar national oral health survey 2016\u20132017 data, including 1260 adults aged 60\u201374\u2009years. The number of missing teeth was calculated by combining WHO codes 4 and 5. Functional dentition was defined as \u2265\u200920 natural teeth. Linear regression and modified Poisson regression with robust variance estimation were used.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The mean number of missing teeth was 9.9 (SD 8.7), 46.8% had a non\u2010functional dentition, and only 6.8% had any denture. After adjustment, participants aged 70\u201374\u2009years (B: 3.78, 95% CI: 2.68\u20134.88) and poor self\u2010rated oral health (B: 3.45, 95% CI: 2.54\u20134.36) were associated with more missing teeth and higher prevalence of a non\u2010functional dentition (aPR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.33\u20131.78 and aPR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.33\u20131.70, respectively). Never having visited a dentist was associated with a greater burden of both dependent variables. Chewing tobacco use, toothpaste use, and oral pain or discomfort were associated with fewer missing teeth and lower prevalence of a non\u2010functional dentition.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Missing teeth and a non\u2010functional dentition were common among Myanmar older adults, with extremely low prosthodontic coverage. These findings highlight the need to strengthen primary oral healthcare, with greater emphasis on prevention, early care, and access to affordable prosthodontic services.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ger.70131","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,16]],"date-time":"2026-10-16T04:57:31Z","timestamp":1792126651000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Missing Teeth in Older Adults in Myanmar: Evidence From the First National Oral Health Survey"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0350-7977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaung Myat","family":"Thwin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry & Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, WHO Collaborating Centre for Translation of Oral Health Science Niigata University Niigata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5886-490X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prathip","family":"Phantumvanit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry Thammasat University Pathum Thani Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4032-9655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hideo","family":"Miyazaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry & Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, WHO Collaborating Centre for Translation of Oral Health Science Niigata University Niigata Japan"},{"name":"Department of Dental Hygiene and Welfare Meirin Junior College Niigata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1070-2172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Ogawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry & Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, WHO Collaborating Centre for Translation of Oral Health Science Niigata University Niigata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","first-page":"ZE21","article-title":"Oral Health and Quality of Life: Current Concepts","volume":"11","author":"Baiju R.
