Abstract
– Longitudinal data of 589 men aged 30–65 yr, each followed for 10 yr, were analyzed to identify variables which may be associated with healthy tooth surface loss. A longitudinal linear growth curve model was used. As expected, older cohorts tended to have fewer sound surfaces (P < 0.02), but they also tended to have greater rates of sound surface loss (P < 0.01). Age, bone loss, number of teeth at baseline, gingivitis, pocket depth and calculus were individually correlated (P < 0.05) with the rate of sound surface loss. The number of filled or diseased surfaces at baseline was also marginally correlated (P < 0.06) with rate of sound surface loss.Keywords
