The incidence of tooth loss, prosthodontic dental restoration and chewing difficulty onset and the effect of tooth loss and prosthodontic restoration on chewing difficulty onset is examined. Chewing difficulty was strongly predicted by incident tooth loss and removable prosthodontic restoration where people reporting tooth loss were 2.7 times more likely to report chewing difficulty onset than people without tooth loss.
