As to the number of remaining tooth, 54.0 percent had one to nine remaining teeth, and 44.0 percent had 10 to 19 remaining teeth. 3. When the correlation between their oral health status and denture wearing was investigated, there was the closest correlation between age and denture wearing. 4. The factors that had the largest impact on denture wearing were age and the number of remaining tooth.
