Description
Chetan Modgi and colleagues compare, in 2026, denture status, unmet dental need, nutrition risk, and quality of life among older adults in rural and urban Pune district, India. Tooth loss and poor prosthetic care can impair chewing, nutrition, and social wellbeing, especially where services are scarce.
The cross-sectional study assessed older residents in both settings for dentures in place, care still needed, food intake state, and life quality as oral health shapes it. Dental planners gain a rural-urban contrast for a fast-ageing population. It shows where denture provision would most improve eating and daily life. Appearance alone is not the point.
