TL;DR
A substantial decrease in edentulousness and frequency of missing teeth was observed between women of comparable age groups over the 12-yr interval, presumably as a result of preventive measures and increased availability of dental health care resources.
Abstract
Women of different age groups in Gothenburg, Sweden were examined in 1968-69 and in 1980-81 by means of orthopantomography. The frequencies of missing teeth and edentulousness were determined. The follow-up results among the same women showed only a small increase in edentulousness and in number of lost teeth during the period. A substantial decrease in edentulousness and frequency of missing teeth was observed between women of comparable age groups over the 12-yr interval, presumably as a result of preventive measures and increased availability of dental health care resources.

Extensions of application include comparisons of age-adjusted death rates, life-table analyses, comparisons of two sets of quantal dosage-response data, and miscellaneous laboratory applications as appropriate.

The available data on oral microbial ecology suggest that the presence of dental plaque containing Gram-positive organisms may be essential for the attachment and colonization of several Gram-negative species after their initial introduction into the mouth and the periodontal pocket area.

The results of this investigation suggest that a dynamic condition of disease exacerbation and remission as well as periods of inactivity may be characteristic of periodontal disease.

The results suggest that a certain microbial flora may be compatible with a state ofperiodontal health and a different flora is associated with varying degrees of periodontal disease; the structure and composition of the supragingival flora differs markedly from that of the subgingival flora.

It is concluded that the selection of a strictly representative sample, together with careful uniformity of performance and high participation rate, will make it possible to draw valid conclusions about the total population of middle-aged women in Gothenburg.

Overall, caries was the most frequent cause for extraction, followed by periodontal diseases, and orthodontic extractions were most prominent in the 6-12 and 13-20 age groups, with respective frequencies of 72.6% and 24.8% of all extractions.

Four to ten years of serial bite-wing radiographs from over 700 children from five groups, three in Sweden and two in the U.S., were interpreted and the mean time and probability distribution for the time a lesion remains in both the outer half and inner half of the enamel were estimated.
European Journal Of Oral SciencesSupport for and implications of the specific plaque hypothesis

The specific plaque hypothesis has important implications because the association between S. mutans, lactobacilli and dental caries can be used in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease in groups of subjects as well as in the individual case.

The lack of significant destructive disease in this population prevented any meaningful comparison of the relative effectiveness of the two preventive maintenance regimens in preventing recurrences of periodontitis.

In the aggregate, the results obtained from studies in vitro, investigations in experimental animals, as well as studies in humans, all point to the existence of a powerful sugar-caries axis.

Middle-aged people were more likely to participate than were persons under 30 and over 50 years of age, and people belonging to the upper income groups seemed to be more willing to participation than those at lower income levels.
