It can cause disfunction of mastication and Temporomandibular joint (TMJ). 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 of 35 ? 44 years old. M-T, MTI, and people using prostheses is higher in women compared to men. In addition, M-T and MTI are higher in rural area compared in urban area. However, the percentage of people using prostheses are higher in urban area than in rural area.
