The mean tooth loss was 4.5\u2003\u00b1\u20037.6. Percentage edentulousness was 1.3% and this was higher in males than in females. This difference was not statistically significant (<jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2003=\u20030.07 <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.7). The total number of teeth lost was 3102, 14% of the total number of teeth examined. The study showed that caries was not a major cause of tooth loss. Only 22 (0.7%) teeth were lost as a result of caries, 19 (0.6%) were lost because of trauma and periodontal disease contributed to loss of 3061 (98.7%) teeth. Mandibular teeth exhibited a higher rate of retention than maxillary teeth. The percentage of elderly individuals with tooth loss increased with age.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The study highlights the high life expectancy of a tooth among the elderly in SELGA. Despite the different cause of tooth loss in this area, in comparison with developed countries, the pattern of tooth retention appeared similar.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-2358.2006.00107.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,5]],"date-time":"2006-05-05T14:45:37Z","timestamp":1146840337000},"page":"117-122","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Pattern of tooth loss in an elderly population from Ibadan, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Juliana O.","family":"Taiwo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Folasade","family":"Omokhodion","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","first-page":"59","volume-title":"Aging of a Modern Population.
