Tooth loss is one of the sensitive indicator of access to dental care and overall dental health. In a broad perspective, the prevalence of both partial and total tooth loss in adults and seniors has decreased since the early 1970s, according to a study by National Health Services. In spite of these improvement, significant disparities remain in some population groups related to tooth loss and insufficient dental care. As per the World health Organization's, Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 estimated that around 3.58 billion people across the globe suffer from dental caries (tooth decay) in permanent teeth. The WHO also states that periodontal (gum) disease, which is a prominent cause of tooth loss was estimated to be the 11th most prevalent disease on a global scale. According to the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP), 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. Additionally, an average of 40 million people in the US are missing all of their teeth. The ACP estimates that this number is expected to rise over the next two decades owing to increasing cavity and tooth decay. According to a Brazilian study published in the International Journal of Dentistry, the major reasons responsible for dental implant procedures in Brazil were, Cavities (38.4%), periodontal diseases (32.2%), eruption problems (6.4%), orthodontics (5.7%), prosthetics (3.6%), injury/trauma (2.6%), occlusal problems (1.1%), and others (9%). Furthermore, American Dental Association (ADA) statistics 2015, ninety-one percent of Americans over the age of 20 years have suffered from dental cavities at least once in their lives. The high prevalence of dental issues will boost the adoption of PACS and RIS in the coming few years.
