Edentulism
Edentulism or toothlessness is the state of being toothless to at least some degree in organisms for example humans that normally have teeth (dentition), it is the consequence of tooth loss. Loss of a few teeth is known as partial edentulism, whereas loss of all teeth is known as complete edentulism. Persons who have lost teeth either partially or completely called as edentulous (edentate), whereas those who have no loss of teeth can be called dentate by comparison. The leading cause of tooth loss in developed countries is periodontal disease.
