The Spatial Copying Task (SCT) was administered up to four times between 1995 and 2001.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigators defined poor cognition as any weighted SCT score &lt;13. Tooth-level Cox proportional regression, accounting for clustering within individuals, estimated the hazard of poor cognition, adjusted for education, epilepsy medication use, and time-varying values of tooth status (present, absent, fixed bridge\/implant, removable replacement), age, cigarette smoking, and coronary heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mean age at initial cognitive testing was 68\u00b17 years. Forty-five percent of men had at least one low SCT score. Twenty-nine percent of participants lost no teeth during follow-up, 34 per cent lost teeth that were not replaced, 13 per cent had missing teeth subsequently replaced with fixed prostheses, and 25 per cent had missing teeth replaced with removable prostheses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New fixed prostheses were associated with a lower hazard of poor cognition while new removable prostheses were associated with a higher hazard. Loss of a tooth with no replacement was not associated with a significantly higher hazard of poor cognition. Masticatory ability declined six per cent in men with new fixed prostheses compared to nine per cent, 10 per cent, and 13 per cent in men with no tooth loss, new removable prostheses, and tooth loss but no replacement, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study found that the replacement of missing teeth with fixed&nbsp;prostheses&nbsp;may protect against&nbsp;cognitive decline, and conservation of masticatory ability may play a role in the protective association.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A US study aiming to determine if the replacement of missing teeth with fixed prostheses may protect against cognitive decline was presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting &amp; Exhibition of the AADOCR, in conjunction with the 47th Annual Meeting of the CADR.
