Furthermore, missing teeth can influence economic factor as well as physical and psychological aspect including aesthethic factor.

The result of the study shows that M-T=3.9 out of DMF-T=4.8 and MTI=79.6%. Moreover, the percentage of people using prostheses is 4.5%. M-T, MTI, and people using prostheses increase in aged group of35 - 44 years old. M-T, MTI, and people using prostheses is higher in women compared to men.
