Abstract
Evidence that dental status affects diet is equivocal. The hypothesis of this study was that diet was affected by dental status. The objective was to assess the relationship between numbers of teeth and diet and nutritional status in US adult civilians without prostheses. We examined 6985 NHANES (1988–1994) participants. Data included socio-economics, demographics, dental status, and diet and nutritional status. Dietary data were obtained from food frequency questionnaires and 24-hour dietary recall. Serum levels of beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C were measured with isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography. The population was classified by numbers of teeth. Covariance and Satterthwaite F-adjusted statistical comparisons were made between tooth groupings and the fully dentate population. Multilinear regression models adjusted for covariates. People with fewer than 28 teeth had significantly lower intakes of carrots, tossed salads, and dietary fiber than did fully dentate people, and lower serum levels for beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C. Dental status significantly affects diet and nutrition.

Abstract
The present review covers current knowledge about the ageing of oral physiology related to mastication and its effects on eating behaviour. Mastication is the first process undergone by a food during feeding. It has a key role in the maintenance of nutritional status in two respects. First, the perceptions of food's sensory properties elicited during chewing and swallowing are one of the major determinants of the pleasure which drives us to eat; second, the properties of the swallowed bolus are affected by oral conditions and this may modulate the subsequent phases of digestion. Ageing in healthy dentate subjects induces moderate changes in oral physiology. Changes in neuromuscular activity are partly compensated by changes in chewing behaviour. No clear age effect is seen in texture perception, although this does impact on food bolus properties. In contrast, great alterations in both chewing behaviour and food bolus properties are observed when ageing is associated with a compromised dentition, general health alterations and drug intake. Eating behaviour is far more complex than just chewing behaviour and the concerns of the elderly about food cannot be explained solely by oral physiology. Discrepancies are often noticed with older subjects between various objective measurements of oral performance and corresponding measures of self-perception. In addition, although more foods are recognised as hard to chew with increasing age, there is no clear shift in preference towards food that is easy to chew. Food choices and food consumption are also driven by memory, psychology and economic factors. Advances in the understanding of food choice in the elderly need a sustained collaborative research effort between sensory physiologists, nutritionists, and food scientists.

Abstract
In this article, the authors review methods commonly used to measure the masticatory ability of patients wearing conventional and implant prostheses. Measurement approaches are viewed in two broad categories: laboratory based and patient based. The laboratory based measures discussed are mastication time, particle size, force measurements, patterns of jaw movement and electromyographic (EMG) bursts and total EMG activity. Patient based measures include satisfaction and chewing difficulty. Oral health-related quality of life measures and diet/nutrition variables are briefly mentioned. Patient-based outcomes are recommended as the most appropriate variables of masticatory efficiency.

Abstract
Mean salivary secretion and bite force decrease with advancing age. Previous studies have shown that salivary flow rates are influenced by mastication. In the present study, we examined the relationship between salivary flow rates and maximal bite force in a community-based sample of men and women 35 years of age or older. Salivary flow rates for unstimulated whole and unstimulated submandibular/sublingual (SMSL) saliva as well as citrate-stimulated parotid and SMSL saliva were measured in 399 subjects. Bite force was assessed with a bilateral force transducer. Pearson correlation analysis yielded significant positive correlations between bite force and flow rates for unstimulated whole saliva (r = 0.24, p < 0.0001), stimulated parotid saliva (r = 0.13, p < 0.03), unstimulated SMSL (r = 0.14, p < 0.0001), and stimulated SMSL (r = 0.16, p < 0.003). When adjusted for age and gender, the partial correlations between bite force and salivary flow rates remained significant for unstimulated whole saliva (r = 0.10, p < 0.05), stimulated parotid saliva (r = 0.13, p < 0.02), and stimulated SMSL saliva (r = 0.14, p < 0.006). Subjects were divided into four groups based on their maximal bite force score (low, medium low, medium high, and high). For each saliva type, the flow rate of the high-bite-force group was significantly greater than that of the low-bite-force group as well as that of the medium-high-bite-force group. These results confirm an age-related decrease in bite force and salivary flow rates and show that, regardless of age or gender, bite force is correlated with salivary flow.

Abstract
A number of studies have suggested that many people are satisfied with less than 28 natural teeth. This review assesses the evidence. The main conclusion was that less than a complete dentition can satisfy oral functional needs. Missing posterior teeth were not very important from a subjective aspect. The demand for replacement of missing teeth is related to the position of missing teeth. Most studies agree that individuals were more concerned about missing anterior teeth and having anterior rather than posterior teeth replaced. Aesthetics is more important than function for a great majority of individuals. However, certain socio-demographic factors, such as age, can change the subjective need for replacement of missing teeth. Some studies have assessed the social and psychological impacts on oral health status. The position of missing teeth was assessed, in terms of groups of missing teeth, anterior or posterior, that would affect an individuals' subjective need for replacement by partial prosthesis. Large numbers of people that have free end removable partial dentures made do not wear them because subjective needs are lower than normatively determined needs for replacement of missing teeth. Some studies have proposed alternatives to the replacement of missing teeth, such as the shortened dental arch concept.

Abstract
The authors collected dietary intake data about the food and nutrient intake of 49,501 male health professionals. Edentulous participants consumed fewer vegetables, less fiber and carotene, and more cholesterol, saturated fat and calories than participants with 25 or more teeth. These factors could increase the risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Mean differences in intake ranged from 2 to 13 percent, independent of age, smoking, exercise and profession. Longitudinal analyses suggest that tooth loss may lead to detrimental changes in diet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adequate food and fluid intake and nutritional health are requisites for sustaining life. The oral-pharyngeal region has evolved multiple, highly regulated processes to ensure that the intake, chewing, and swallowing of foods and beverages is maintained. The objective of this paper is to identify the independent and collective roles of oral health on eating in older people. DESIGN Research reports from peer-reviewed scientific journals. Hypothesis-driven research that objectively examined taste, smell, dental and oral mucosal health, dental prostheses, chewing, and swallowing in the context of aging. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data results were extracted independently by multiple observers. A qualitative synthesis of data results from independent studies was made in order to form conclusions regarding the role of oral health on eating in older people. CONCLUSIONS Many oral functions remain intact in healthy older adults. However, significant alterations arise from oral and systemic diseases and their treatments, and these may have a profound effect on eating, drinking, and the nutritional status of older individuals. The care of older persons with smell, taste, dental/alveolar, oral mucosal, chewing, and swallowing problems requires a multidisciplinary team of health care providers. Recognition of the interrelationship between oral, pharyngeal, and systemic physiological processes will help practitioners identify the etiology of these disorders and implement appropriate therapy.

Abstract
The chewing of 22 subjects, with a total of 27 removable partial dentures (RPD) that had been used for more than 6 months, was analyzed by four different methods. The study design was an intraindividual comparison of chewing, with and without the RPDs. Chewing tests were a color mixture of two-colored gums, chewing gum bolus shaping, comminution of Optosil silicone tablets, and number of chewing strokes to first swallow of an almond. The participants were also asked some standardized questions about their eating, biting, and chewing capacity. There was no significant difference in efficiency as measured by chewing gum color mixing, chewing gum shape, and pulverization of Optosil between chewing with and without the RPDs. Significantly more strokes were needed to swallow an almond without than with the RPD in place. With their RPDs in place, all subjects could chew a sandwich and an apple, and all but one could chew whole meat. The study shows that the chewing process should preferably not be analyzed by one method only.

Abstract
Of the 52 studies emanating from the Veterans Affairs Dental Longitudinal Study, 6 were identified as technology assessments. Three of these studies evaluated dental radiographs used for the diagnosis of oral lesions. Two studies compared alternative technologies for the replacement of missing teeth, and one reported the effects of NSAIDs on alveolar bone loss. Four additional articles are discussed that provide data that will be useful in future assessments of dental technologies.

Abstract
In a previous study concerning oral function with shortened dental arches, it was found that approximately 10 per cent of the patients investigated complained of impaired masticatory ability despite a substantial reduction in arch length and, as a consequence, food platform area. This finding differs from those of studies relating masticatory performance to food platform area. From a review of pertinent literature, it is concluded that impairment of masticatory ability is manifest when less than 10 occluding pairs of teeth are present. Shortened dental arches are not associated with shifts in food selection adversely affecting general health.

Abstract
Missing natural teeth have been associated with a reduced acceptability for the taste and texture of hard foods as well as with an increase in the perceived difficulty of chewing these foods. The present study examined the role of the personality variables extroversion and anxiety in modulating the relationship between dentition status, masticatory performance, taste preference, texture preference, and perceived ease of chewing of an easy-to-chew food (pot roast) and a more difficult-to-chew food (raw carrots). Healthy adult men, participants in the Veterans Administration Dental Longitudinal Study, were examined. Results indicated that with increased age there was a tendency for texture acceptability to increase for the easy-to-chew food. Masticatory and swallowing performance were diminished in persons with artificial dentition, and these individuals also perceived an increase in the difficulty of chewing raw carrots. There was a significant association of anxiety, but not extroversion, with masticatory and swallowing performance.

Abstract
Perception and concern for the health changes in our aging population led the Veterans Administration to initiate an interdisciplinary and longitudinal investigation of the aging process, the Veterans Administration Normative Aging Study, in 1963. A cohort of the 2,280 healthy men of this study self-selected to enroll in the dental longitudinal study, an investigation of oral health in these healthy males. In 1968, 1,221 men between the ages of 25 and 75 began with a baseline cycle of 5 general series of examinations, including an interim health history and survey of dietary habits; masticatory performance and taste thresholds; salivary analyses; oral cytologic and radiographic survey and comprehensive clinical data on caries and periodontal status. Design considerations for the Dental Longitudinal Study included prospective planning of specific oral variables to be recorded, and provision of collection techniques to allow for additional analyses based on a wide menu of retrospective data. The volunteer cohort was screened to obtain men who met stringent general health criteria, who represented wide socioeconomic ranges and would likely remain geographically stable. Importantly, enrollment in the parent study was without regard for dental status or oral health. Administrative design considerations included orderly transfer for exam data to machine-readable format by use of optical scan forms designed to register specific oral variables, with security preserved for the primary source records and rapid record retrieval. Additional data collection requiring manual coding was designed to transfer spreadsheets of clinical impressions and diagnoses to computer retrieval protocols. Provisions for recording of exceptional circumstances, i.e., salient oral pathology, were recognized and the optical scan forms modified to index and retrieve such cases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
