Edentulism, the complete loss of natural teeth, is a prevalent issue, affecting a substantial portion of the elderly population, with higher prevalence rates in women, lower socioeconomic groups, and those with limited access to dental care. This condition has significant implications for nutrition, speech, and overall well-being in older adults. To enhance the quality of life for this demographic, there is a critical need for improved oral health support and initiatives tailored to address the challenges of edentulism.
