Description
da Cruz and colleagues used Brazil's 2023 national oral health survey in 2026 to study who has dental implants. The survey covered adults aged 35 to 44 and older adults aged 65 to 74. They compared two measures: what people reported themselves and what examiners actually saw during clinical checks.
Implant prevalence ranged from about one tenth to one fifth of the sample, depending on the measure used. For self-reported use, older age, higher income, private dental care, and seeking treatment or rehabilitation all raised the odds of reporting implants. For clinically observed implants, only the number of missing teeth showed a significant link. The authors say implant use reflects both access to services and real clinical need, and they urge fairer provision through the public system.
