Summary: Nation-wide survey of oral health of seniors aged 65–74 and 75 and more years showed the significantly
higher prevalence of edentulousness and the lower mean count of remaining teeth in institutionalised
seniors when compared with those living independently (age 65–74 – 50.1 % vs. 21.0 %, 4.16 % vs. 10.91 %, age
75 and more – 65.2 % vs. 51.7 %, 2.24 % vs. 5.06 %). Significantly lower count of institutionalised individuals had
enough teeth present to evaluate their periodontal status but the prevalence of periodontal disease did not differ
significantly between the groups of institutionalised and independently living seniors. Restoration of remaining
teeth and prosthetic rehabilitation in institutionalised seniors were significantly worse when compared with independenty
living individuals.
