L J Brown. J Am Dent Assoc. 1994 May.

Abstract

A comparison of data from a 1971-74 study and a 1985-86 study is used to establish trends in tooth loss among adults. The data show that tooth retention among employed U.S. adults improved almost 15 percent in the decade between the two studies, and edentulism was almost cut in half.
